Our strategy
The balanced business model that we have built has seen us perform better than many of our rivals...
It has enabled us again to grow at over five percent and the additional space we took two years ago has been central to maintaining our investment programme and developing further services.
The last year has been a particularly strong one for our transactional teams. All of them achieved double digit growth with Property and Corporate leading the way. Business Support & Insolvency also had a standout year and our Litigation and Dispute management teams grew by an average just shy of three percent. Our aim of achieving a £25 million turnover through organic growth looks to be achievable within the next few years.
An important part of growing profitably has been our ability to attract and recruit the best possible people. Since our last annual review we have been joined by lawyers and professional support staff from law firms including Berrymans Lace Mawer, DAC Beachcroft, Fentons, Fox Williams, Henmans Freeth, Morgan Cole, Norton Rose, Olswang, Shoosmiths, Slater & Gordon and Wragge & Co as well as commercial businesses – Weight Watchers, EasyJet and Compass Group.
We have also recruited a new Head of IT from Marks & Clerk, a UK based international intellectual property firm to fast track the development of our IT systems.
Helping clients and others choose and recommend the right law firm remains a focus and we continue to benchmark and openly discuss our performance.
We have now been shortlisted for Regional Law Firm of the Year eight times in the last decade – winning it three times in the last four years. A feat we are particularly proud of.
The legal directories that objectively review and rank UK law firms and lawyers placed two thirds of our services in the top tier and ranked over 95% of our partners as experts – an exceptional performance that few full service law firms can match. In addition, Chris Branson one of the Partners in our Business Support & Insolvency service was listed amongst the UK’s ‘Top 200 Commercial Lawyers’ by Chambers as part of its research. This compared and evaluated all UK lawyers on communication skills, commercial awareness, efficiency and responsiveness, industry knowledge and insight into client’s business – and is the first time that a Thames Valley based lawyer has been included in this elite ranking.
Other recent accolades include having our strategy ranked as one of the most effective amongst European law firms by the Financial Times in its annual Innovative Lawyers review alongside Freshfields, Linklaters, Eversheds, Ashurst, Baker & McKenzie, Hogan Lovells, Jones Day, Cuatrecasas, Neorr and Garrigues.
Our management team has also either won or been shortlisted for awards by the CBI, The Law Society, Chartered Institute of Marketing, Personnel Today, The Managing Partners Forum and Legal Business.
