Mayer Brown London achieves record revenue

Mayer Brown has announced a remarkable achievement for its London office, reporting a record revenue of $268.2 million for the year 2025. This figure represents a significant 20.5% increase over the previous year and enables the firm to celebrate a landmark 130th anniversary in the City of London. The impressive results can be attributed to strategic investments aligned with the firm’s global objectives and a focused response to client demand for specialised services across various sectors and product types.

Dominic Griffiths, the London Managing Partner, expressed pride in the firm’s achievements: "These results reflect the exceptional talent and commitment of our people and the strength of a strategy rooted in client demand. We set out to build something distinctive - a platform where the best lawyers collaborate across borders and across the capital structure." He added that as clients contend with a “complex transatlantic environment,” the firm is well-positioned to provide integrated and specialised advice from its London and New York offices.

The highlights for Mayer Brown London in 2025 include eight lateral partner hires across vital areas such as private equity and structured finance and a notable increase in cross-border collaboration, with teams completing 96 transatlantic deals together. The firm noted a staggering increase in private equity deal volumes, rising 95% year on year, alongside a 14.8% growth in active structured finance matters.

Mayer Brown has also engaged in significant mandates, such as advising Standard Chartered Bank on a $3 billion clean energy infrastructure platform alongside Apollo, and providing counsel to Ford Pension Schemes on a £4.6 billion buy-in with Legal & General. Moreover, the London office led the way in a £1.6 billion CMBS financing for the Haven Group, marking it as one of the largest sterling-denominated issuances in Europe.

The sustained growth of the London office forms part of a wider investment strategy by Mayer Brown. This approach aims to enhance the firm’s transatlantic presence while ensuring that offices on both sides of the Atlantic collaborate effectively to deliver optimal results for their clients.
