The firm enjoyed an eighth consecutive year of revenue and profit growth in the 12 months to 30 April 2025, with revenue up 11 per cent to £550.9m (around €635.8m).

Profit per equity partner (PEP) was £1 million (around €1.2m) with total partner numbers up nine per cent to 444, including 59 new partner hires and promotions.

Global headcount increased by six per cent to 2,952 over the course of the year.

In Ireland, the firm saw double-digit growth driven by strong performances across the main practice areas, litigation, corporate, finance and real estate, with areas such as insolvency, financial regulation, tax and energy doing particularly well.

Mark Walsh, head of Ireland at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “The opening of our new offices in the heart of Georgian Dublin has been a major milestone for the firm as we continue to grow.

“We also welcomed three new partners into the practice, Joe O’Rourke in corporate, Killian Maher and Jack Kennedy into our ever-expanding construction group. Today, we have a team of 90 lawyers working in our Dublin office.

“As we build our broader expertise and deliver outcomes for our clients in Dublin, the UK, Europe and the Middle East, we are proud to be one of the largest international law firms working in the Irish market and remain ambitious for the year ahead.”

Andrew Johnston, managing partner of Addleshaw Goddard, added: “It has been another strong year for AG and we are pleased with the financial results, as well as the progress that we have made in evolving the firm’s growth strategy.

“We performed well across our key markets, boosted by the Madrid office launch in May 2024 and our first full year of business in Riyadh. From market-leading acquisitions to complex financing and restructurings, clients have trusted us with the most important matters for their businesses.

“Our year-on-year revenue and profit growth as well as our robust cash position has allowed us to continue to invest significantly in our people, offices, and innovation, whilst enhancing the services we offer to our clients.

“Since unveiling our AG2030 strategy in November, we have entered the Central and Eastern Europe market through the addition of Linklaters’ Warsaw office, opened a new office in Abu Dhabi and have continued to invest in the UK and Ireland with exciting new offices for our people.

“Later this year, we will mark our 250th anniversary with a move to our new Lothbury headquarters in the heart of the City of London.

“We take considerable momentum into the new financial year as we focus on winning additional market share across key clients, geographies and sectors.”
