Manches refocused on internal promotions in 2006-07, doubling its internal intake after two years of predominantly lateral growth. The firm spread its six promotions across its key areas, with the real estate arms of commercial property and construction the highest priorities. The Oxford office accounted for three of the six. IP/IT and litigation are historically good bets for partnership prospects. The firm is set to introduce a new career development programme for fee-earners this year.
