A further six promotions were made across the firm’s European offices with three in Paris, two in Frankfurt and one in Cologne. Of the 14 US promotions, eight came in Chicago, five in New York and one in Charlotte. Six partners were made up in the firm’s Hong Kong office.

“Each member of this exceptional group of lawyers has earned their promotion by demonstrating outstanding legal skills in their practice area and a commitment to the highest standard of client service, which are defining characteristics of Mayer Brown,”  said chairman Herbert Krueger.
