International outfit Fieldfisher says it has made ‘significant strides towards becoming Europe’s leading law firm’, despite reporting modest profit and turnover increases.
The firm said this week it had increased profit per equity partner to £1m in the year ended 31 March 2025 – an annual increase of 3%.
Firm-wide revenue reached £385m, up 1% on the year before.
Fieldfisher said it achieved revenue increases across all departments, including double-digit increases in the regulatory, IP, tax, real estate, personal injury and medical negligence practices.
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.’
Structural changes to the firm’s international network, following its exit from the Verein firm in Italy, have had an impact on the annual results this year, but overall the group comprises 28 offices in 14 countries.
Revenue growth was recorded across the firm’s European network, with double-digit increases in newly-opened offices in Austria and Italy, as well as in Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.
Shooter added: ‘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.’
