Slaughter and May famously never takes on lateral partners, so all figures refer to internal promotions. Those promotions have been increasing over the past three years, from three to four to six.
The firm has made up 13 partners in three years, of whom seven have been in corporate. The firm made up no female partners in 2003-04 and 2004-05, but in 2005-06 it made up two.
