City law firm Lewis Silkin LLP has today announced the addition of five new partners to the firm, taking the number of partners to 56.

The new partners are Owen Eastwood (Sports and Employment), Simon Jones and Virginia Goode (Property) and Paul Rajput and Miguel Pereira (Corporate). All promotions take effect as of the 1 April.

Last month the firm was ranked 33rd in the prestigious annual Sunday Times Best Companies to Work for ratings, with just one law firm achieving a higher position. The firm was also labelled an ‘outstanding employer’ again this year, when Best Companies Ltd awarded a two-star accreditation for the second year in a row – distinguishing Lewis Silkin for its employee engagement.

Commenting on the firm’s latest expansion, Managing Partner Ian Jeffery said:

“We are delighted to welcome Owen, Simon, Virginia, Paul and Miguel to the partnership. A key plank of our strategy is to develop our people and offer them rewarding careers. All five of these talented people have demonstrated a high level of skill and achievement in their specialist areas as associates, a real commitment to the firm’s values and the tenacity to grow and further develop our business in the years to come”
