Law firm sees 13% growth following another year of strong revenues

Law firm Freeths, which has offices in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, continues its consistent revenue growth as it publishes its financial results for 2023/24, delivering another year of double-digit growth with turnover up by 13% to £145.5m.

The latest published accounts reveal a continuous upward trajectory for the firm with average annual turnover growth of more than 10% over the last five years and an increase of £16.7m over the last 12 months.

Freeths attributes much of its financial success to its 1,200+ people, including 14 lateral partner hires in the last year alone, and the support of its clients.

The business has also seen significant expansion across all main practice areas including high-end M&A, disputes, restructuring and insolvency, real estate and environmental and energy mandates.

Over the last year its dispute resolution team has grown by 29%. The team, led by Partner James Hartley, has continued to fight for justice for the sub-postmasters involved in the original Post Office scandal, and is now advising postmasters and other people who are among the hundreds whose criminal convictions are being overturned as a result of the flawed Horizon IT system.

Commenting on the results Karl Jansen, Freeths National Managing Partner said: “As we report on another year of strong performance, our success has enabled us to invest strategically in the future of the business.

“This includes our investment in the latest market leading technologies such as AI, helping to enhance our performance across the firm, and yielding significant benefits for our clients.”
