The firm’s headline firmwide revenue figure of £385m represents a one per cent increase on an annualised basis.

However, the firm said the results have been impacted by structural changes to the firm’s verein network, withe integrated Fieldfisher firm delivering £346m in revenue — an increase of 10 per cent on an annualised basis.

Following office openings in Austria, Poland and Portugal and the relaunch of Fieldfisher Italy, Fieldfisher’s network now comprises 27 offices in 14 countries.

Managing partner Robert Shooter said: “This has been a period of strategic transformation and investment in our firm. We have expanded our European presence, adding new offices in Austria, Italy, Poland and Portugal to our network in the last two years.

“We have also made significant investments in our premises in Hamburg, Berlin and Dublin, with the Birmingham office move and the refurbishment of our London headquarters taking place later this year.

“Our focus on growth in our chosen sectors and key areas of expertise has driven our recruitment of 20 new partners across our international network.

“Against this backdrop, we have achieved growth across all offices and practice areas, continuing to innovate and deliver excellent client service.

“I would like to thank our lawyers and business services professionals for their contributions.

“We have ambitious plans for the future and are confident that our current strategy of transformation and integration across our international network will sustain our success in the coming period.”
