BTO Solicitors LLP has announced record turnover and increased profits in its latest set of figures lodged at Companies House.
Turnover amounted to £19.575m (an increase of 6.9%), with profits of £6.371m, representing a 16.9% uplift on the 2022/2023 result.
Earlier this year, the firm undertook a governance restructure which produced a new, streamlined Management Board, comprising Grant Hunter as Managing Partner and Caroline Carr as Chair, along with Lesley Gordon, Partner and David Walker, Chief Operating Officer.
Also during 2024, BTO made a number of key partner appointments including three external hires and the promotion to partner of home-grown senior lawyers.
Coinciding with the lodging of its accounts, the Management Board unveiled its Strategic Business Plan for the firm for the next five years, with its primary aims of ensuring the firm’s continued success as one of the leading legal firms in Scotland with a progressive, high performing, positive and supportive culture focused on achieving sustainable and profitable growth; and to excel at being both great to work with and a great place to work.
BTO is also rolling out a brand refresh and launching a new website as part of its commitment to investing in the delivery of high-quality legal services.
Grant Hunter, Managing Partner, commented:
“This is a really exciting time for the firm as we embark on the next phase of our development, building on our recent success and driving our Strategic Business Plan, with its focus on high performance, growth and maintaining a positive and supportive culture.
Our people and our clients are our primary concern. Among our key considerations are the development of BTO’s market profile in each of our practice areas, fostering strong relationships with our clients and ensuring outstanding service delivery, whilst at the same time driving growth through diversification in our client base, which our enlarged partner group will continue to deliver.”
