Expanding into new regions together with continued focus on core markets and key sectors alongside material investments in people, platform and client service delivers 10th successive year of revenue and profit growth.

Strategic progress – Key indicators:

John Joyce, Managing Partner, Addleshaw Goddard, said:

"Thanks to the hard work of teams across the business we made great progress again last year across many different fronts, resulting in another set of outstanding results. It is especially encouraging to see the positive impact of our strategic focus to better support and service clients around the world, win new market share and establish AG as a destination employer. 

"We continue to broaden our capabilities to support clients wherever they might need us and the scale of our investments I believe demonstrates our ambition to continue increasing the value we can offer to our clients whilst creating new opportunities for everyone who works in AG. In the last two years we have added materially to our partner group with nearly 100 appointments. We are more global than ever too, now with 7 offices in Europe and with Riyadh, our 4th office in the Middle East – expected to open shortly." 

Approximately 80% of the firm's income is generated through its six core sectors: Energy & Utilities, Financial Services, Healthcare, Retail & Consumer, Real Estate and Transport. During the year the firm acted on a range of complex, high value and strategically important assignments across each sector.
