Significant increase in revenue and profitability – strong transaction business drives growth.
In the 2025 financial year, Taylor Wessing achieved the highest turnover in its history in Germany. Turnover rose by around 13.1 per cent to €243 million. Profitability also developed very positively.
In addition to the consistent refinement of the pricing structure, this development was driven in particular by a significant increase in productivity. Revenue per practitioner (UBT) rose by around 23 per cent to approximately €574,500. At the same time, staff deployment was specifically optimised. The number of practitioners fell from 460 to 423 full-time equivalents (FTE).
Oliver Krappe, CFO/COO of Taylor Wessing Germany, says: “Our record year is essentially the result of a consistent improvement in profitability: we have secured higher hourly rates in the market whilst significantly increasing productivity. A key factor in this was also a more strategic and efficient deployment of staff. At the same time, our strong, cross-sector transaction business – particularly in technology, healthcare, energy and private equity – has provided further impetus for growth.”
In the past financial year, Taylor Wessing advised, among others, Regent on the acquisition of ContiTech’s Original Equipment Solutions division, Grant Thornton Advisors in the bidding process for Grant Thornton Germany, and Diamond and Wangfeng on securing the future of the German air taxi pioneer Volocopter.
With its performance in 2025, Taylor Wessing has underlined its position as one of the leading commercial law firms in the German and European markets.
