Law firm Shoosmiths announced revenue was up 7% year-on-year to £137.6 million and net profit up 6% to £37.9 million.
The law firm, with partners and offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh, does not give a separate break-down of its Scottish results.
Simon Boss, chief executive officer of Shoosmiths said: “These results represent another year of continued strong growth with our revenue up 7% and our profit for the year up 6%. The market continues to be challenging, both economically and politically, but it’s good to see our growth continuing year-on-year.
“A key part of our strategy is to grow our corporate practice. This has been one of our standout performers over this period, alongside good performance from all the other practice areas.
"The corporate team has seen revenues grow 12% over the year and we’ve strengthened our team with the hire of five new corporate partners: James Klein, Simon Briggs, David Harrison, Alexandra Triptree and Nicholas Iliff.
“We have had significant growth in all our locations with strong progress in London, Manchester, Leeds and Scotland. Further investment and expansion is planned as we strengthen our presence and teams across the UK. Alongside this we have moved into larger premises in existing locations as our business continues to grow.
“During the year we’ve also introduced a new range of tech-based innovations designed with our clients in mind, such as Matters+, an innovative legal management solution for in-house lawyers to help teams track, analyse and manage their workload.
"We continue to innovate to develop smart solutions to help our both our clients and improve Shoosmiths’ efficiency and the client experience.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to implement and drive our strategy and ambitious growth plan, to increase our share of the UK legal market though organic growth and careful expansion of our teams and services to meet client demand and needs.”
