“As a firm we are continuously looking for opportunities to develop and promote our internal talent. Our new partner appointments are reflective of our firm’s strategy for growth in a competitive market. The promotion of our lawyers is a direct result of their technical excellence, superior client service as well as strong team and personal performance. It cannot be said too many times that what drives our firm is the talent and dedication of our people, combined with their desire to innovate and collaborate with others," Piper Alderman managing partner, Tony Britten-Jones said.
