SJ Berwin asks associates to appraise partners

SJ Berwin has overhauled its partner appraisal system, with the firm’s top names set to be rated by both their peers and associates for the first time. Each of the firm’s partners must choose a panel of between five and eight people to provide anonymous feedback, grading the partners from bad to excellent. Significantly, other people at the firm may make comments on the partner’s performance, even if they are not invited to do so.
