Allen & Overy’s latest promotions cycle has seen three joining the partnership at the firm’s Sydney office.
William Kim, Lisa Emanuel and Daniel Harris were among a total of 36 making partner across 13 of the firm’s global offices effective 1 May. Kim hails from the banking team, while Emanuel and Harris work with the corporate team.
