Pinsent Masons has smashed through the £200m barrier after recording double-digit growth in turnover for the third consecutive year, the national giant announced today (12 May).

Fee income at the top 15 UK firm was up by 11% over the last 12 month, reaching a new high of £213m – up from £192m last year.

The firm indicated that average profits per equity partner (PEP) are expected to be close to £500,000, which would represent an improvement of around 6% from last year’s figure of £471,000.

The firm’s property, corporate and dispute resolution practices were highlighted as key drivers behind the growth in revenue; meanwhile, banking and insurance saw a 17% surge in turnover and the firm also reported a 20% increase in projects and transactional work.

Commenting on the results, Pinsents managing partner David Ryan (pictured) said: “We have achieved another year of good progress, a third year of double-digit growth, further reinforcing our and the market's confidence that we can continue the successful journey we started [by merging with legacy firm Masons] three years ago.”

He added: “We have achieved this during a period of economic difficulty, so our performance in the last few months is particularly encouraging. In terms of activity, the last three months have been a record for Pinsent Masons.”
