Reading time: one minute

Irwin Mitchell LLP and Walker Morris LLP have both announced record-breaking financial results for the tax year ending 30 April 2025, following a trend of strong performances across the sector.

Irwin Mitchell reported a revenue of £329.3 million –  an 8% increase on last year’s £304.3 million. The law firm’s total pre-tax profit also rose by 13% to £24.6 million. International revenue was a key area of expansion, with a 50% increase to £16.2 million. This growth was partly driven by the firm’s membership in several global legal networks, according to Legal Cheek.

Commenting on the success, group CEO, Craig Marshall, said: “We made several important decisions during the year, such as the sale of our asset management business, which simplifies our client service portfolio and allows us to invest more in our core legal services, our colleagues and technology, setting us up for future growth.”

Meanwhile, Walker Morris also posted a record-high revenue of £84.3 million – a 14% increase on last year’s £74 million. This boost also represents a 50% growth in the past five years. The firm’s net profit also rose by 11% to £37.5 million, while profit per equity partner increased by 18%. Walker Morris is currently working towards its ‘Ambition 27’ goal, aiming to achieve £100 million in revenue by 2027, with investment in its people “front and centre” of this growth target.

Managing partner Jeanette Burgess commented: “Delivering double-digit revenue and profit growth in an unpredictable climate is very pleasing and the result of us bringing even greater value to our client relationships.”

Much like Irwin Mitchell, international reach remains a key priority. As Burgess noted: “25% of our income is generated outside of the UK and so the ongoing confidence clients have in us to deliver for them anywhere in the world is critical.”
