Holman Fenwick & Willan has promoted eight lawyers to its partnership, including three at its London hub.

The bulk of the remaining promotions come in Asia, with the Hong Kong office gaining two new partners and Shanghai and Singapore picking up one apiece. The firm has also promoted one at its Paris office.

The City partners promoted are international commodity and trade shipping specialist Sarah Taylor, shipping and aviation asset finance lawyer Adam Shire and Martin Dalby in the admiralty team.

The London office has also promoted master mariner Kaare Langeland to senior manager – a position equal to partner status. He joined Holman Fenwick in April 2005 as an admiralty claims investigator and had been based in the Hong Kong office but relocated to London this month.

Holman Fenwick senior partner Richard Crump commented: “It is really satisfying to promote so many ‘home grown’ people and equally rewarding to see our talented lawyers in different offices becoming partners. It is a testament to the continuing growth and development of the firm.”

The promotions come shortly after Holman Fenwick moved to bolster its offices in Dubai, China and Australia. The firm hired Christian Taylor from Manches to head its Dubai commercial property and construction team and moved energy partner Paul Aston from Singapore to Shanghai to lead the office. Meanwhile, litigation partner Chris Lockwood moved from London to Melbourne.

In February the firm opened an office in Brussels.
