Partner promotions

Record year of partner promotions at Mills & Reeve Leeds

On 1 June 2022, Mills & Reeve promoted 13 principal associates across the firm including four in Leeds, the highest number in any of our regional offices which reflects the growth in the local marketplace. This cohort also includes the highest proportion of female partner promotions (69%) on record.

Justin Ripman, senior partner at Mills & Reeve said: “It’s great to see so many of our principal associates making such powerful cases to join the partnership this year, each of them having built a strong client base and reputation in their respective areas of legal expertise.
