South East firm ASB Law tends to promote from within, with 13 homegrown partners compared to three laterals over three years. The corporate department had the most promotions in 2005-06, but historically the most successful groups at promoting partners are the litigation and property-related departments, which each got one new partner a year.

The Crawley office has accounted for the most, with six of the 13 internals over three years, and two of the three laterals.
