Lower competition in our markets means there is less upward pressure on salaries, allowing us to offer greater value for money for our clients.
Operating outside London contributes to reduced property costs, and provides a more sustainable work-life balance for our colleagues.

A scalable model
We are well positioned in a fragmented market worth £3.3bn outside London providing a clear opportunity to grow organically, complemented by carefully targeted acquisitions.
A proven and compelling platform for legal and other professionals attracted by the freedom from ownership risk associated with partnership structures, as well as the sustainability of our commercial success and career development opportunities.
Culture and market positioning drives organic recruitment and results in low churn.
Track record of unlocking value from acquisitions, with acquired businesses being fully integrated into our systems and processes through support from our experienced team within three months and full cultural integration within 12 months.
Investment in operational backbone, including technology, provides a scalable platform for future growth, with fixed costs diluted as we grow.
This year we have entered two new locations and scaled the business up in an existing location by acquisitions.
