U.K.-based DWF has posted revenue growth of 18 percent, from £201.3 million ($263 million) to £236 million ($308 million) for 2017-18 ahead of the firm’s initial public offering (IPO), expected to take place early next year.

The boosted topline comes on the back of a year of significant investment at the firm, including new office launches in Singapore, Italy, Qatar, Australia, new practice launches in France and the UAE, as well as an expansion into Istanbul through an exclusive alliance with local firm Ozkan Law.
