Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has become the second of the Magic Circle to reveal 2019 results, posting a 6% uptick in profit per equity partner (PEP) to £1.84m, while sustaining last year’s income growth to push its top line up 5%.
The firm’s turnover grew £70m to £1.472bn on last year’s £1.403bn as net profit edged up 1% to £688m from £683m in 2017/18. PEP stood at £1.839m compared with £1.734m last year. While the 5% revenue increase matched last year’s performance, the 2018/19 figures are less striking in terms of profit after Freshfields enjoyed a 12% PEP hike for the 2017/18 financial year.
