Allen & Overy today announces 22 promotions to counsel and three to PSL counsel across 12 offices and five different practices. The promotions are effective from 1 May 2011 and recognise the significant contribution that these senior lawyers make to our global business.

Managing partner Wim Dejonghe comments: "Both the counsel and PSL counsel roles are distinct, high-status roles for senior lawyers, designed to reward the valuable contribution they can make to the business in the long term. The distribution of these promotions across our international offices reflects our commitment to increase capabilities in Asia and the Middle East and our continued investment in our European offices. I would like to congratulate all the new counsel on their promotion."
