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.
