| Summary: | From housing association champion to Middle East king: Trowers & Hamlins may appear to have an odd form, but it has proved its unusual mix of practices can work, and work well There is such a thing as being in the right place at the right time; just ask Trowers & Hamlins. During the past couple of years one of the most attractive international destinations among discerning law firms has been Dubai. Ashurst, Herbert Smith and Lovells are just three of the ranks of firms that have opened offices or signalled their intention to join the party in Dubai recently. And Trowers? It's been there since 1991. Last week (4 June) The Lawyer reported that Trowers was relaunching an office in Saudi Arabia. And last month the firm revealed record financial results that show an average profit per equity partner of L545,000 - a 15% rise from 2006 - and a total revenue of L68.1m, up by an astounding 21%. Trowers has the feel of a firm whose time has come. Yet that is not all there is to Trowers. The other part of its practice is also doing well; and it is about as far removed from its international projects practice as it is possible to be. |
