The firm, which specialises in litigation and dispute resolution, also reported double-digit growth of 13.6% in the region.
The EMEA region accounted for almost 9% of the firm’s global revenue, reported at $551 million, as it sets its sights on $1 billion turnover by 2030.
Overall, the firm’s revenue grew by 13% for the financial year to April 30, marking 11 years of consecutive growth.

Commenting on the results, Kennedys senior partner John Bruce, who assumed the position in January 2025, said: “The firm’s global growth aspirations are clearly evidenced through these results. We have made deliberate strategic decisions, establishing new offices in key jurisdictions, while also prioritising new leadership across the firm. I believe this commitment to evolving our firm globally, will continue to drive us forward collectively, while we remain laser focused on delivering exceptional work for all our clients.”
“We have an ambitious goal of $1 billion global turnover by 2030,” continued Bruce. “By investing in our people, processes and infrastructure and innovating together, we will create a firm that is fit for the future. I’m really excited for what lies ahead at Kennedys.”

We have added four new partners and over a dozen lawyers in Madrid, promoted three partners in Dubai and one in Dublin, as well as adding a partner in Muscat and an arbitration partner in Paris.”
