Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The PB has a reasonable expectation that the LLP and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future which is a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The PB has considered the wider global economic uncertainty as part of the going concern assessment. Accordingly, and also taking into account the potential actions available to the PB to mitigate the impact of a severe but plausible scenario, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Linklaters recorded strong growth in the year ended 30 April 2025, demonstrating significant progress across all key regions, with particularly accelerated expansion in the US. The firm experienced increased profit and continued to develop its global capabilities by welcoming a notable number of new partners, both from lateral hires and internal promotions.”
- “This growth was propelled by high demand in complex financing, restructuring, and top-tier practice areas such as restructuring and insolvency, project finance, and litigation. Linklaters maintained its leadership through high-profile client mandates, including major energy transition projects and landmark transactions, while its Litigation, Arbitration & Investigations Division earned top-tier global rankings and was involved in several prominent international cases.”
- “From 2026 the firm's headquarters will relocate to a new office in London ("20 Ropemaker").”
- “During the year ended 30 April 2025 the Scheme completed a full buy-in, meaning there is an annuity policy insuring the liabilities of the scheme.”
