The firm, which opened an office in Dublin two years ago, also saw net profit increase by 5.4 per cent, with profit per equity partner up 8.1 per cent to €837,000.

Christian Bartsch, CEO, said: “Our strong strategic focus on technology and the exceptional work of our people has led to another positive year of growth for Bird & Bird.

“Our lawyers are continuously tackling tech-related issues, particularly with the increasing impact of GenAI on businesses worldwide, and their deep sector expertise and knowledge means they are well placed to help our clients navigate these matters.

“I’m excited for the year ahead — the whole firm is behind our recently launched five-year strategy, and we look forward to delivering ambitious but sustainable growth across our international network.”

Bird & Bird recently appointed Michael Finn as head of its Irish office, tasking him with implementation of the firm’s new five-year strategy.

The firm now has five partners and 30 staff members in Dublin.
