Craig’s colleague Fiona Letham, head of the CMS Legal Services Unit in Glasgow, has also been elevated to the role of partner.
These Scottish promotions are among 54 new partners announced today by CMS across 24 cities in 17 countries around the world, reflecting the firm’s international strength and depth. Women account for 41% of this year’s global promotions.
Today’s announcement follows another year of investment in people by the firm including the on-going development of its dynamic hybrid working environment, top-quality mentoring programmes and a technology-led work allocation system.
Allan Wernham, Managing Director of CMS Scotland, said: “I’m delighted to announce these highly-merited promotions today. Fiona and Craig are two examples of the high quality colleagues we have among our ranks in Scotland. Both are effective operators in their field and have demonstrated a real commitment to clients and colleagues alike.
