Addleshaw Goddard has promoted three lawyers to partner in its Leeds office at Sovereign Square.

Welcoming the new partners, Charles Penney, senior partner at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “We are extremely pleased again this year to have been able to promote a talented group of individuals drawn from all our practices, sectors and locations.
“Our footprint continues to grow with the opening of our four new European offices last year and another soon to open this year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We continue to pursue recruitment very actively, but as important to us as part of our growth strategy is providing opportunities to our home-grown talent.
“We look forward to working with our new partners to grow our business and to continue their development as future leaders of our firm.”
