Paralegal

management/ownership
and fee earners.The success of our model was reflected in very attractive growth over the following 6 years and since our listing on the AIM market in June 2018, we have reported year on year growth in both turnover and profits.With over 1400 colleagues across 23 locations our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high quality recent acquisitions in Newcastle, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Crawley, Maidstone, Exeter, Weybridge and Sheffield means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets.
