What the data show
From June 2025 to May 2026, 23 lawyers were promoted to partner in Newark, according to Sartori & Partners data. Promotions are confirmed about five months late, so this window ends earlier than the lateral figures.
Across five years of promotions, the median time from first year of practice to partner is 11.0 years, with the middle half between 9.2 years and 14.0 years. The market median is 10.0 years, so the track here runs longer. The median rests on 50 promotions.
