Pinsent Masons has announced the details of its 2010-11 financial results, with the firm posting 3% revenue growth for the full financial year.

Firmwide revenue climbed from £206m in 2009-10 to £213m, according to the firm's preliminary unaudited results.

Managing partner David Ryan (pictured) commented: "What was good about this year was that the second half was very strong. Pretty much all of our growth was in the second half and what is pleasing is that growth was consistent.

"From the start of the recession we set out to keep our teams together and that is paying off for us now. That, and also the fact that we have hired strong people in key areas, has given us a very good platform going forward."

"We made a plan in 2009 and are sticking to it. The market is still going to be challenging – particularly in the UK – but we are going to continue to take advantage of the opportunities we see for growth."

Ryan said that the firm's best-performing practices were corporate, international arbitration and outsourcing and technology, adding: "Every other practice held its own, despite the market continuing to be challenging. We saw another strong performance in the Gulf, we had a good start in Singapore and our projects practice in Asia had a good year."

Last year the firm saw revenues drop by 4% alongside a 32% increase in profits per equity partner.

The news comes after fellow UK top 50 firms Stephenson Harwood, Wragge & Co and Barlow Lyde & Gilbert released the details of their 2010-11 financials, with all three firms seeing 15%-plus revenue rises.
