The firm, which has offices in Dublin and Belfast, also saw profit increase by 1.8 per cent to £177.5 million (around €205m) in the year to 30 April 2025.

Over the course of the year, Clyde & Co added 59 partners through lateral hires and internal promotions across its regions, sectors, and practice groupings.

The firm’s expansion over the last year includes the firm merging with the Dallas-based firm Tillman Batchelor and forming a partnership with G Herrera Abogados & Asociados in Colombia

The firm also bolstered its global energy practice with five new partner hires in the UK and Europe and expanded its global regulatory and investigations (R&I) practice with the appointment of Sam Tate as its global head of R&I.

North America was the firm’s fastest growing region by revenue and now accounts for 25 per cent of the firm’s fee income

This growth was fuelled by strong client demand alongside the addition of 11 new partners in North America through lateral hires and promotions, with a particular focus on growing a national trial and defence practice.

The firm’s largest region, the UK, accounts for 46 per cent of the firm’s revenue, Middle East and Africa 11 per cent, Asia Pacific nine per cent, Europe seven per cent and Latin America two per cent.
