In the past three years, Nabarro Nathanson has made up 19 internal candidates to partnership and has made 15 lateral hires, although the rate of laterals has increased recently. In 2005-06 the firm appointed equal numbers of internals and laterals for the first time.

Perhaps not wholly surprisingly, real estate appointments dominate, accounting for 10 out of the total of 34 over three years � three of which were lateral hires. Also well represented is banking, with four � three laterals and one internal over three years. Company/commercial accounts for four, with one internal and three laterals. Most of the other internal appointments are scattered around the firm, from IP to employment and pensions.

Sheffield supplied over a third of the internal candidates, with six partners over three years.
