Osborne Clarke’s best-paid partner received more than £1m during 2017-18 in a strong year for the firm,how to scare away squirrels but not birds which saw UK revenues jump by nearly 15%.
The sum paid to the firm's top earner during the financial year rose 9% on last year to reach £1.01m, passing the £1m mark for the first time in the firm's history.
The firm’s accounts – which cover its operations in London, Bristol and Reading – show that UK revenue climbed 15% to £139.4m, while profit before tax also rose by 15% to £61.5m. The UK revenue rise contributed to
a firmwide 14% increase

– said the firm intends to
focus on increasing net profit
, but not at the expense of partner numbers. The firm expects to grow total fee-earner headcount to about 500 during the coming years.
Under Berg's tenure, the firm has made a concerted push into the tech arena, with a particular focus on 'smart cities' and fintech, recruiting data analysts in the process.
Berg said: "Our strategy is built on understanding and responding to the needs of our clients and our people. Our results show this approach is working, but we're not complacent.
"Our entire team is tasked with finding ways we can improve our international business through smart investments, new technologies and thinking differently."
During the course of the year, the firm welcomed a number of new partners, including
Bird & Bird UK tax chief Mathew Oliver
, DWF head of employment
Andrew Chamberlain and Squire Patton Boggs employment partner Anna Elliott

Nike
and tech firms
Uber
, Facebook, Go-Pro and Yahoo, for which it works out of both its City and Silicon Valley bases.
This year, the firm has also turned its attention to mental health issues, introducing mental health awareness professionals into its bases with a view to destigmatising the issues.
