Global law firm Clyde & Co has today announced the promotion of Sarah Crewes to equity partner in its Edinburgh office, as one of 16 such promotions in the 2021 round across its global network.

She is also involved in the firm's global mentoring programme and global client initiatives, and is a supervising solicitor at the Edinburgh Free Legal Advice Centre.

Vikki Melville, managing partner in Scotland, commentes: "We are proud to promote Sarah to partner this year. She is an invaluable member of the team who has contributed to the growth and success of the firm's IFPD practice in Edinburgh and beyond in a significant way, while demonstrating the market-leading levels of client service that we are known for at Clyde & Co. Her promotion reflects our ongoing commitment to developing and investing in our people across Scotland and across the firm."

In the UK, the promotions are spread across the firm's London, Manchester and Edinburgh offices. In addition to Ms Crewes, Karen Boto and Rebecca Lindsay are made up in the firm's Insurance practice. Jeremy Stephen and Will Trustram are promoted in the Real Estate and Marine teams, respectively.

The promotions are effective from 1 May 2021.
