Dentons released financial results this week for its U.K., Middle East and Africa arm, a limited liability partnership that saw gross revenue rise 1 percent in 2016-17 to £166 million ($214.5 million).

Profits per partner for its UKMEA arm fell 9 percent during Dentons’ most recent fiscal year, to £481,000 ($621,596), down from £530,000 ($684,919) in 2015-16, when the firm’s partner profit metric rose by 6 percent. The unaudited figures released by Dentons this week come as the growing global legal giant expanded once again, opening an office in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, after absorbing 10-lawyer local firm Avent Advokat.
