Australia's latest global law firm arrival, Clifford Chance, has announced it has elected 12 new partners across the Asia Pacific region, in addition to the 14 new partners acquired via their entry into the Australian market.

Clifford Chance officially welcomed the 14 new Australian partners on 1 May, following the firm's mergers with Chang, Pistilli & Simmons and Cochrane Lishman Carson Luscombe.

Regional managing partner Peter Charlton said the further additions across Singapore, Hong Kong and China reflect the fact that "Asia Pacific is an exciting place to be a lawyer right now".

The new additions bring Clifford Chance's total partnership to 577.
