Linklaters is also expected to top revenue growth at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer where insiders have predicted a 12 per cent increase in revenue, taking it to £987 million ($2.38 billion).
When contacted by Lawyers Weekly, a Linklaters spokesperson said that following the firm’s conversion to an LLP on 1 May this year, they were preparing accounts for the year ending 30 April 2007 as if they had converted to an LLP on 1 May 2006. Consequently, preliminary audited results are not expected to be finalised until July.
