BLP promotions see eight make partner
Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) has promoted eight lawyers to its partnership, with all but one based in London.
The remaining new partner works out of the firm’s Moscow office.
The lawyers are in the corporate, litigation and real estate departments and two of them are women.
Managing partner Neville Eisenberg (pictured) said: ” Notwithstanding the challenging environment, we remain committed to providing our lawyers with the opportunities to fulfil their potential.
“It’s very pleasing to see a number of these promotions in Moscow, which has had a very good first year of operations.”
