Pinsent Masons announces 2013-14 financial results

Profit per equity partner (PEP) increased by 4.5% up to £405,000 from £387,000 last year while turnover saw a 4.6% rise to £323 million compared to £309 million in 2012-13.

Managing partner at Pinsent Masons, David Ryan, attributed growth in part to strong performances in banking and finance, real estate and projects, most notable in the Energy sector. The firm's international network performed well with Germany and the Middle East making a significant contribution.

Commenting on the results, David Ryan, said: “We’re pleased to have seen another year of good revenue growth. The extended period of investment we’ve made in the firm through merger, office openings and continued lateral hiring for our long-term benefit has put the firm in a strong position to capitalise on opportunity in the marketplace and our focus now is on realising the strongest returns and boosting profitability with a more modest level of investment continuing alongside."

"Our new finance director Charlotte Beckett joins in the Autumn and one of her early priorities will be to help us to ensure we are well positioned to drive up profitability following such a period of sustained growth.”
