The title of SC is provided to parties who prove themselves in Litigation/Court Work, and a key requirement to be appointed SC is for you to have consistently performed well in big/complex cases at the higher levels (i.e. HC or COA) of the court hierarchy for at least 10 (but realistically 15-20) years.
It is not possible for Corporate Partners to have attained the rank of SC due to the stated requirements, unless they were previously litigators.
