The highest-ever gross turnover but reduced growth figures was the message that came out of DLA Piper’s financials today (28 February), as the top Global 100 firm revealed a 1.7% increase in revenue to $2.48bn, while revenue per lawyer rose 3.3% to $625,000.
Profit per equity partner rose just 1% to $1.325m, while the global firm’s net income slipped 0.3% to $602m, although that still constitutes a significant improvement when compared with 2011 figures of $563m.
