Law firm posts another year of double-digit growth

Law firm Freeths has posted another year of double digit growth with financial results for 2023/24 showing 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.

Highlights over the last year include partner James Hartley continuing to fight for justice for the sub-postmasters involved in the original Post Office scandal. He 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.

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.

“The depth and breadth of our national practice, which now includes Scotland, has helped us to become one of the UK’s leading law firms.”
