Reed Smith saw increases in its key financial metrics between 2011 and 2012 that the firm attributed in large part to its cross-selling across its core industry groups.

According to preliminary numbers released today by Reed Smith, the firm saw a 2 percent rise in gross revenue from $993 million in 2011 to $1.01 billion in 2012. That marks the first time Reed Smith has crossed the billion-dollar mark when it comes to gross revenue.
