Addleshaw Goddard is in discussions with a number of additional partners about their future roles with the firm, it has emerged.

The talks, which are understood to include the possibility of de-equitisations as well as demoting fixed-share partners to non-partner status, come after Legal Week on 20 January reported that Addleshaws had asked 19 partners from its London, Leeds and Manchester offices to leave the firm, citing economic conditions.
