This cohort of lawyers consistently demonstrate outstanding capability, exceed clients’ expectations and embody the values of Holding Redlich,” he said.
“Today’s promotions also reflect the success of our comprehensive career development programs and flexible working policies aimed at supporting the professional growth of female lawyers within our firm. This has been, and remains, a priority for us as we continue to ensure that our firm leads the way in relation to female representation at the senior lawyer and partnership levels.
