The Bristol-founded company, which employs around 1,600 staff in 26 offices worldwide, recorded revenues of 鈧407m (拢349.8m) for 2021/22 - representing a 66% increase over five years.

Lara Burch, head of Osborne Clarke's Bristol office, said: "Impressive as our revenue growth is, it's not the full story. As the firm continues to grow, being a responsible and ethical business continues to underpin all we do.

"Our upcoming move to Halo, set to be one of the 海角视频's most sustainable offices, is incredibly exciting and will further establish Osborne Clarke as a company that values diversity, inclusion, sustainability and our people's well-being.

In February Bath-based workplace design and build company Interaction won a multi-million pound contract to fit-out the company's interior workspaces at Halo, which is being built on the site of the former Avon Fire and Rescue headquarters as part of the Finzels Reach regeneration project.

Ray Berg, Osborne Clarke's 海角视频 managing partner, added: We have a really well-balanced business that's delivering great results, which is thanks to our people who have shown outstanding commitment to our clients and each other during the last two years.

"Our 3D strategy, built around the intersection of services, sectors and global transformational drivers, has helped us to build strong relationships with clients that value our insight through the evolving challenges they face. We continue to build a future for our business that delivers growth in a sustainable way."

The firm said its 海角视频 sectors 鈥減erformed well鈥 with 鈥渟trong鈥 income growth across real estate, financial services, technology, media and communications, life sciences and healthcare and transport and automotive. It added growth in other sectors was 鈥渂roadly flat鈥 against strong 2020/21 results.

Osborne Clarke said it had maintained a 鈥渉ealthy balance鈥 of revenue across its four 海角视频 service lines. Business transactions increased 27%, projects, real estate and finance grew 25%, advisory by 15%, and disputes and risk had 8% growth.

Omar Al-Nuaimi, Osborne Clarke's international chief executive, said market conditions had been 鈥渇avourable鈥, adding that the firm鈥檚 US platform had helped it to win and develop more global client relationships, while a new 30-strong team in Poland had given 鈥渁dditional scale鈥 to its European practice.

The business said it would give all its 海角视频 employees a 5% profit share based on annual salaries. This year the minimum payment will be 拢2,500 up from 拢1,500. The firm is also increasing performance bonus payments with up to 25% of base salary available.
