Addleshaw Goddard’s Dublin office sustained increased profits, delivering four years of double-digit growth. Over the last three years, headcount at the Dublin office has grown by over 20 per cent, rising to 156, with 91 lawyers and 34 Partners.

Commenting on this year’s performance, Mark Walsh, head of Ireland office said: “In Ireland, we have continued to build on the firm’s strong momentum, delivering sustained growth by deepening our relationships with existing clients and supporting new clients entering the market. Our performance reflects both the strength of the Irish economy and the increasing demand for high-quality, cross-border legal expertise.

“As we look ahead, we remain focused on investing in our people and capabilities, strengthening our position in key sectors and working closely with colleagues across our international network to help clients navigate complex challenges and capture new opportunities.”

Andrew Johnston, managing partner of Addleshaw Goddard, said: “Every part of our business has taken a step forward with strong performances right across all of our sectors and markets. Financial services and real estate made a particularly significant contribution, alongside rapid expansion in sectors such as energy & utilities, industrial & advanced manufacturing and technology.

“Pleasingly, there have been strong contributions from our offices outside the UK, as our European and Middle East platforms mature. We have also been very happy with the successful launch of our new offices in Warsaw and Abu Dhabi.

“We have continued to invest significantly in offices, people and technology across key markets to better service our clients. At the same time, we have further strengthened our balance sheet. This has been achieved against the backdrop of more than one third of our people moving office this year, through the relocation to flagship headquarters in London and moves in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Riyadh, enhancing our client and employee experience.”
