Walker Morris made up just one partner internally in 2006-07 and two lateral hires. Licensing, which received both laterals, is likely to generate more sustained recruitment following the increasing pub licensing and super-casino mandates.

Over the past three years two of the firm’s four internal promotions have been within real estate-related sectors.
