Bringing up the rear of the Big Four City firms to post solid but unspectacular financial results, Allen & Overy (A&O) has increased its top line by 5%, sending revenue up by £75m to nearly £1.63bn.
A&O’s £1.627bn turnover relegated it from second to third largest Magic Circle firm in revenue terms after Clifford Chance (£1.693bn) and Linklaters (£1.629bn) but above Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer (£1.472bn).
