Legacy SJ Berwin's highest paid member took home £834,000 during 2012-13, according to the firm's latest limited liability partnership (LLP) filing.

The accounts, filed with Companies House, show the firm's top earner pocketed 10% less than the previous year's equivalent, when the highest paid partner earned £928,000.

The firm meanwhile reported turnover of £182.9m for 2012-13, up 1.7% on the previous year when the firm brought in £179.9m.

The LLP's profit for the year increased to £43.4m from £42.4m, while the firm's operating profit fell marginally from £60m to £59.6m.

However, profit available for division among members saw a 6% drop from £49.1m to £46.2m.

Last summer the firm reported unaudited revenue of £184.6m, 2.5% up on the £180.1m it reported in during 2011-12.

Geographically turnover from the UK office accounted for 66% of total fee income after it brought in £121.5m, up on £119.8m in 2011-12.

The firm's offices in Europe contributed £56.7m, amounting to 31% of global turnover, up on the previous year's total of £55.6m.

The Middle East and Asia outposts also each grew year on year fee income, with the former increasing by 1.7% to £3.7m, to account for 2% of global fee income, and the latter by 10% from £0.9m to £1m.

Meanwhile, the average number of fee earners at the firm increased by 5% from 444 to 466, alongside a 2% drop in support staff numbers from 448 to 439. Average member headcount grew from 155 to 162.

The firm in turn spent £62.1m on wages and salaries during the year, marking a 2.6% increase on the previous year when equivalent costs amounted to £60.5m.

During the financial year the firm opened an office in Luxembourg and made 13 lateral hires.

Legacy SJ Berwin's combination with Asia-Pacific giant King & Wood Mallesons, which went live at the start of last November, was not factored into the results.
