Watson Farley points to lateral hires as revenue grows

EDHAR

The firm posted global turnover at £59.5m for the same period, and said its turnover is up 7 per cent on a currency by currency basis. This steady increase follows a strong full-year revenue performance announced in July, as turnover was up 7 per cent from £117m to £125m. 

Twenty-four new partners

Co-managing partner Lothar Wegener said the firm's investment in 24 new partners in the past 18 months as lateral hires and a new office in Dubai has encouraged stronger returns. The office in Dubai is the firm’s fourteenth and opened last year as a result of increased client demand in the Middle East, particularly the UAE. Finance partner Andrew Baird relocated from London to head up the new office, along with two associates. Source: Legal Business
