Simmons & Simmons’ highest earner for 2011-12 took home around £900,000, a 12.5% increase on last year’s top figure of £800,000.

The figure is contained within the firm’s latest financial report, recently filed with Companies House, which also reveals that the firm is bringing in the roles of managing and senior associate for its Belgium, France, Germany and Italy bases, after introducing the roles in London some years ago.
