Big profit rise for law firm
A SOUTHPORT law firm has announced a huge increase in half-yearly profits.
Brown Turner Ross says the figure has risen by 27.5%, with the company that also has offices in Liverpool claiming it has “proven buoyant during a wave of wider economic instability”.
The firm said all areas of the business had performed strongly, particularly commercial property, family law and private clients alongside the firm’s civil litigation.
Turnover has risen by 9.6% from £2.4m to £2.6m.
Sam Bushell, managing director of the firm, said: “Brown Turner Ross has had a record half year, and as expected, the figures are really impressive, we have seen a 27.5% increase in profit and a 14% increase in turnover.
“The continued dedication from our highly skilled and equally motivated team is paramount to the success of the firm, along with the support from our loyal and much loved clients.”
A spokeswoman said the firm has been growing over the last 18 months, with a series of new hires and three new directors appointed – and that expansion has been reflected in “blossoming” financial figures.
Kevin Ross, head of property, added: “We’ve made a number of strategic investments, focusing on our core strengths as a firm in family law, commercial property and private client work.
“The rewards from these investments are now coming into fruition and this is reflected in our success, which stands the business in good stead for our future work across the Liverpool City Region.”
