Nick Roome, head of KPMG Law, said: “This a tremendous achievement which only comes about after many years of hard work, perseverance, resilience and a focus on developing the skills needed to operate at partner level. To have four new partners in our KPMG Law business is testament to the efforts of each of these talented colleagues, but also the continued success and growth of the KPMG Law business”
“KPMG Law is currently on an exciting journey to double in size by the end of 2024 and both nurturing and hiring top talent is a vital part of that plan.
“I congratulate the four new Partners and, like everyone in KPMG Law, cannot wait to work with them as part of our senior leadership team as we continue with our plans to grow.”
Of the 155 partner promotions and new hires, 59 are in KPMG UK’s consultancy practice, 33 in tax and legal, 30 in deal advisory, 23 in audit, and 10 in the firm’s central sales and services function. A third (33%) of these new partners are women, 19% are from an ethnic minority background and 27% are from a low socio-economic background.
The firm has significantly grown its partnership in the past year, reflecting strong demand from its clients. KPMG UK now has 781 partners, comprising of 502 equity partners and 279 salaried partners. Salaried Partners were introduced in December 2021, offering the firm’s future leaders additional routes into the partnership.
