Three global corporate law firms — Baker McKenzie, Eversheds Sutherland and Reed Smith — announced that some of their younger Texas lawyers had been elected to their partnerships.
To date, 29 corporate law firms operating in Texas have promoted 127 associates and counsel to partner in 2024.
So far, 76 of the 2024-25 partnership class are men and 51 are women. Sixty-four of the 127 are based in Houston and 50 office in DFW. Seventy-eight have a corporate transactional practice, while 49 handle litigation.
