Over 20 female lawyers were promoted, including two new partners
Holding Redlich has started the new financial year with a women-centric promotions round that elevated 21 female lawyers – including two to partner.
Sarah Butler is the newest partner on the TMT practice, while Megan Cant joins the workplace relations and safety partnership. Both Sydney-based lawyers stepped into their new roles today.
