Bird & Bird has seen revenues soar by just under 30 percent during the last financial year in part boosted by a merger with a London boutique and a tie-up with a Finnish firm.

The top 25 firm has reported gross revenues of 186.3 million pounds ($303.44 million) during 2008-09, a 29.6 percent increase from the 143.7 million pounds ($234.07 million by today’s exchange rates) brought in during 2007-08.
