How to become a partner in large national firms| CincoDías
3 of July, 2024
CincoDías, in this article, analyses the criteria and requirements to become a partner in large national firms. Luis López was named a partner in the Litigation and Arbitration practice this year, after joining the firm almost seven years ago as an associate. After becoming a senior associate in January 2020, he completed a secondment in the United States at a leading global litigation and arbitration firm and, thanks to his experience and client portfolio, was promoted to partner of the firm.
In addition to this latest appointment, Ana Martínez-Pina in Banking and Finance and Constantino Pérez in Corporate were also promoted to partner.
According to CincoDías, the factors that influence this position in the leading firms are, among others, the lawyer’s speciality, his or her ability to generate business and internal competition. Although internal talent is prioritised, some firms also recruit externally as they expand into new markets.
In summary, access to partnership is influenced by a variety of factors and criteria, and promotions to partner are an important annual process in large firms.
