Aaron & Partners reports revenue rise

LAW firm Aaron & Partners has reported a 20% rise in annual fee income to £7m.

The Chester firm said it enjoyed strong performances across its litigation; family; wills, trusts and tax; and commercial and corporate departments.

A profit figure was not available and the firm has not yet filed its accounts at Companies House.

Last month Aaron & Partners expanded into the Midlands with the acquisition of Shrewsbury practice Bennett’s Legal.

Chief executive Andy Duxbury said: “We have a great financial base, we’re profitable and we continue to invest from a position of strength.

“Whilst the market is still volatile and many of our competitors are finding life tough, we are thriving and have a very clear focus of what we are trying to achieve.”

He added: “We are extremely optimistic about the future as we continue to grow. This programme of investment includes people as we recruit more highly specialised solicitors, invest in new infrastructure, particularly IT and purchase new office facilities.

“We are undoubtedly the ‘go to’ firm in the region for commercial clients and have a proven track record in working for high net worth individuals.”

Aaron & Partners employs 102 staff.
