Law firm gears up for ambitious growth strategy

Law firm Flint Bishop has announced its incorporation as part of its ambitious growth plans.

This strategic move from Flint Bishop LLP to Flint Bishop Limited comes on the back of the firm’s most successful financial year to date and is designed to support its growth plans in the coming months.

For the fiscal year ending 30 April, Flint Bishop achieved record-breaking results with annual turnover climbing to over £21 million.

The firm’s workforce has also expanded significantly, surpassing 250 employees for the first time in its history.

Qamer Ghafoor, chief executive at Flint Bishop, said: “Our incorporation marks a pivotal moment in Flint Bishop’s journey.

“This change in structure will enable us to pursue our aggressive growth strategy more effectively, including planned organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.

“We are immensely proud of our staff, our culture, and the clients we are working with.

“As we move forward, we will concentrate on five key areas: profitable growth, financial performance, development of our clients and people, management of risk, and enhancing our brand and reputation.

“Our new corporate group structure will allow us to develop brands and non-legal services, building scale without compromising our culture.”

The firm has already begun implementing its growth plans, with several key initiatives, including recruitment of lateral hires and experienced staff across multiple practice areas, expansion of the firm’s national presence and market recognition and diversification of client base and service offerings.

Mr Ghafoor said: “We are positioning Flint Bishop for significant further growth.

“Our trajectory is clear – we aim to become a recognised national player in the legal industry, while maintaining the values and culture that have been instrumental to our success.”

The incorporation follows a series of strategic moves by Flint Bishop, including the recent appointment of Karen Walker as chief operating officer and the acquisition of new state-of-the-art headquarters on Derby’s Pride Park.
