Travers Smith has rarely made lateral hires, and the past three years� statistics underline this. 2004-05 was a bleak year for Travers associates, with nobody being promoted, but that score was sandwiched by five promotions in 2003-04 and five in 2005-06.

Perhaps inevitably, corporate is the most prolific department, with a total of six internals in three years. The firm has two small offices in Paris and Berlin, but all promotions were in London.
