Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw (MBRM) had another good year, with revenue in the UK rising by 21.8 per cent as a result of growth across all core practice areas.

The firm completed a strategic review in London earlier this year, which set targets to almost double turnover in London and to double headcount in the corporate and finance departments.

The firm has also overhauled its management, with UK head Paul Maher assuming the role of joint vice-chair. His influence in the firm as a whole is significant and is highlighted by London’s strong financial performance since the transatlantic merger between Mayer Brown & Platt and Rowe & Maw at the beginning of 2002.
