Double digit growth amid fifth year of investment for B-Corp law firm

Independent law firm Brabners is celebrating another year of purpose-led growth, having posted revenues of £40.5m for the year ending April 30 2022, a 10 per cent increase on the previous year.

The results represent a fifth consecutive year of growth for the firm as it continued to invest in a series of major office relocations, including its new 20,000 sq. ft Grade A Manchester office at Barbirolli Square and its relocation to, similar, Grade A office accommodation in Lancashire, on the outskirts of Preston.

The firm has subsequently built on this momentum, announcing its entry into the Yorkshire market in May 2022 and the opening of its new offices in Leeds, at 1 City Square, in November 2022.

As well as delivering a strong set of results, which included an 11 per cent increase in profit before members remuneration and profit shares, to £14m, 2021-22 also saw Brabners achieving a number of “significant milestones”, such as being named the UK’s Independent Law Firm of the Year at the British Legal Awards.

Robert White, CEO at Brabners, commented: “Brabners has achieved so much in the last five years, and the past 18 months have been our strongest yet.

“We continue to focus on building a leading independent law firm: a firm with a national reach, with a strong sense of purpose, that seeks to play its part in bringing about positive change from its position at the heart of the Northern business community.

“Our investments over the past five years, most recently in our offices in Manchester, Lancashire and now Leeds have only strengthened our position and have created the environment for our people, guided by our values and culture, to flourish.

“All our colleagues can be immensely proud of what we have achieved so far, and supported by our ongoing commitment to innovation, diversity and sustainability, we intend to continue to challenge ourselves at all times to “make the difference” for our clients, our people and the communities we serve.

“Our outlook for 2022-23 remains optimistic, despite the undoubted challenges we all face, and we look forward to being there as a force for good when it matters most, positioning ourselves as a partner in action.”
