She is among 20 new partners – 11 women and nine men – appointed globally in the firm's annual promotions round, taking the worldwide partner count to 316.
Kennedys has continued to grow over the past 12 months, adding new offices in Brisbane and Houston to its international network.
The firm also completed its biggest office move, with more than 600 people relocating to a new London office inside the city’s iconic ‘Walkie-Talkie’ building.
