Scot among Clyde & Co's 2022 partner promotion round

Clyde & Co has announced the promotion of 23 equity partners across its global network, including a solicitor in its Edinburgh office.

Andrew Tolmie in the Insurance – Casualty team joins 22 other lawyers across the firm's five regions and representing each of its core sectors to be recognised with the status as from 1 May 2022.

Eight of the promoted partners are based in North America, seven in the UK, five in the Middle East & Africa (MEA), two in continental Europe and one in Asia Pacific. There are 14 promotions in Insurance, five in Projects & Construction, three in Energy, Marine & Natural Resources, and one in Aviation. For the second time in three years, over half (12) of the promotions are women.

Carolena Gordon, Clyde & Co’s senior partner, commented: "We are a firm that has always valued growth, for the benefit of our people and our clients. While we are very proud to regularly welcome new partners and colleagues from outside the firm, it is particularly satisfying and important to be able to promote exceptional talent from within. Our diverse 2022 team of new partners have all displayed the legal skills, client focus and technical expertise that we expect from our people, but they have also demonstrated the collegiality, leadership skills, drive, and empathy that we look for in our partners and leaders. They are a credit to the firm and I wish them well in the next stage of their careers."
