Most of Georgia’s largest law firms promoted more lawyers to partner this year compared with 2022, both in the state and firmwide, reflecting a national trend that could subside soon amid economic headwinds.

Overall, these firms, in their latest round of promotions, named about 40% more new partners in their Georgia offices and 21% firmwide, compared with their 2022 new partner rounds.
