BRADFORD law firm Gordons increased turnover by 16 per cent to £19.8 million for the year ending March 31, 2022, with net profit rising 23 per cent to £10m.

However, the firm’s managing partner, Paul Ayre, has said market conditions for the current financial year look ‘tougher’ and that Gordons must ‘continuously improve’ in order to maintain momentum.

During the 12-month period to March 31, 2022, Gordons saw growth in all areas of its business largely through building on its strong client relationships.

The firm’s corporate and commercial team had a record year with revenues up 30 per cent, marking five years of consecutive growth for the team.

Standout deals the firm advised on included the sale of marketing technology platform ContentCal to US-based global software company Adobe and nursery operator Kinder Haven to Kids Planet.

In the same period, Gordons launched its start-ups and emerging companies service led by new partner, Amy Pierechod, and extended its strategic partnership with digital and tech start-up network NorthInvest.

Paul Ayre, Gordons managing partner, said: “Clients are facing big challenges at the moment, and this will impact law firms as we experience a tougher market.

“We need to continuously improve our service and ways of working to preserve the trusted relationships that have served us so well.”
