Law firm Browne Jacobson has announced record turnover of £105m for the year ending 30 April 2023, up 12% on the previous 12 months.

The firm said its key highlights for the year included:

  • opening its first international office in Dublin
  • relocating its Birmingham office to 103 Colmore Row
  • becoming the first UK law firm to partner with O Shaped "to help shape the lawyers of the future"
  • retaining its ranking as the UK’s No 1 employer by the Social Mobility Foundation
  • adding new clients to its public and private sector portfolio including Castore, Scania, Inspired Villages, London Boroughs’ Legal Alliance, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and The White Horse Federation, a 31 school, multi-academy trust based in Swindon. The firm also renewed its panel relationships with key insurer clients Hiscox and HDI Global.  
  • making a series of key partner hires including  Dublin partners Jeanne Kelly and Ciaran Markey, Manchester-based Jason Nash, Lee Ashwood, Francis Katamba and Michael Appleby,  Heather Caddy in Nottingham, Emma Roake and Carly Caton in London, and Nathalie Jacoby-Danesh. It also recently announced 29 partner, legal director, and senior associate promotions.
  • investing in Aderant, its new practice management system, a new website and a refreshed brand.

Richard Medd, Managing Partner at Browne Jacobson, said: “This is another impressive set of results for the firm despite domestic and global challenges. Breaking the £100m ceiling for the first time is one of many significant milestones for the firm this year. It also marks the first year that our results include Browne Jacobson Ireland where having a fully integrated network has already started to reap benefits with a strong demand for our services.”

“None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our clients and the hard work and dedication of our talented people across all of our six offices.

“Since taking over the reins as Managing Partner three years ago, I have seen the firm go from strength to strength during an unprecedented period of change. We have another exciting year ahead and the investments we have in the pipeline will put us in an even stronger position to deliver for our clients and give great opportunities to our people.”

Browne Jacobson has more than doubled its turnover since 2014, growth it said had been “achieved organically and with consistent investment in diversifying its client base, talent and infrastructure”.
