Wragge & Co has slashed the number of partner appointments this year in further evidence of slowing growth at the expansionary Midlands giant.
The leading regional firm confirmed last week that it was to make up just two partners, against 11 new appointments made by the firm in 2001.

This year’s two promotions are PFI lawyer David Fennell and finance litigator Ian Wetherall, who became partners at the beginning of this month.
