Revenue was up a touch at McDermott Will & Emery's London office as the Chicago firm spent much of the year knitting together its various European offices ± the Carnelutti merger and the two German offices in Munich and Düsseldorf being the key areas of interest.

Corporate, which includes banking and private equity, dominates the firm, accounting for 50 per cent of revenue. McDermott has built up a solid midcap client base, with names such as Numis and Collins Stewart on the roster alongside Merrill Lynch, Kvaerner and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. There were a couple of significant hires in 2004, including that of Michael McFall from Dorsey & Whitney to bolster the corporate team. Employment and benefits made up 20 per cent of turnover, with IP at 15 per cent, tax at 10 per cent and litigation at 5 per cent.
