Simpson Thacher & Bartlett has announced its 2010 promotions, with the Wall Street leader making up six new partners in its New York office.
Five of the promotions come in the firm's corporate practice, with the litigation practice gaining the remaining partner. All six promotions are effective from January 2010.
The firm has not made up any partners outside New York this year, in contrast to 2009, when the firm promoted two London corporate lawyers - Ian Barratt and Sinead O'Shea - to the partnership.
Overall, this year's promotion round is slightly up on last year, when the US firm made up five new partners. However, it falls short of 2008, when eight lawyers joined the partnership.
Other international firms to announce their partner promotions recently include DLA Piper, which promoted 41 lawyers to partnership worldwide.
Meanwhile, Shearman & Sterling promoted one lawyer to its partnership in London out of a total of seven promotions globally.
Last year Simpson Thacher made a rare lateral partner hire in the City, with high-profile private equity partner Adam Signy joining from Clifford Chance. The firm is looking for further UK-qualified corporate lawyers for the office.
