London, 16 April 2025 – Global law firm Clyde & Co has today announced the promotion of 25 new partners, effective from 1 May 2025.
The promotions underscore the firm’s continued investment in its global, cross discipline offering to support clients in navigating complex and evolving risks.
Almost a third of the promotions were made in North America, reflecting Clyde & Co’s sustained growth in the region where it has operated since 2006 and where it has 19 offices. These promotions follow the merger with Dallas-based firm, Tillman-Batchelor earlier in 2025.
Twelve promotions were made across the UK (six in Manchester, four in London, two in Edinburgh), in addition to one promotion in each of Hong Kong, Singapore and Spain.
There were two promotions in the Middle East – in Dubai and Jeddah – where Clyde & Co opened a new office last year, building on over 15 years in Saudi Arabia. In addition to these promotions, the firm has expanded its offering in Saudi Arabia with the appointment or promotion of eight partners since 1 May 2024, reflecting its ongoing commitment to clients operating in the country [see notes].
This year’s promotions span the firm’s aviation, disputes, real estate, technology & intellectual property, insurance, construction, employment, regulatory and investigations, energy and marine practices.
Carolena Gordon, Senior Partner, Clyde & Co said: “Our clients rely on us to help them navigate the multitude of risks they face as they operate in today’s complex and fast-moving business environment. These talented new partners add depth to our offering, further enabling us to provide clients with the globally integrated advice and support they expect from us. I wish them every success in their new roles.”
