West End upstart Wedlake Bell has ambitious plans to double the size of its corporate team. But that has not translated into a swathe of partnership promotions yet. One corporate lawyer was made up in 2005-06, while the firm’s other core practice, IP, also received one partnership promotion in 2006-07, along with employment and real estate.
