The first of the Magic Circle firms to disclose its 2013/14 half year (H1) results, Allen & Overy (A&O) has done so in reasonable style, starting the year with a 7.5% rise in revenues thanks in large part to strong performances in its litigation and finance practices.
H1 turnover at the 2,700-lawyer firm increased to £608m, marking a significant improvement on this time last year, when its 2012/13 H1 revenues dipped by 2.7% on the previous year from £582m to £566m.
