Law firm Irwin Mitchell has enjoyed a year of growth, with income up by more than five per cent to just over £200 million.

Results for the financial year 2012/13 saw the firm’s income increase by 5.3 per cent to £200.2 million.

Profit for the group in line with its reporting as a limited company was at £19.1 million, net of member remuneration, representing a 3.1 per cent increase on 2011/12.

The firm, which has nine offices in the UK, including one in Birmingham, said its continued growth was a “significant milestone”.

Group chief executive John Pickering said: “2012/13 was another very strong year for our group in which income exceeded £200 million. This is a significant milestone for us but the story does not stop here.

“This latest set of results shows that we are a strong, well-managed business and on that basis, we are confident of delivering further growth in the coming financial year and beyond.”

He added: “The financial year 2012/13 was the year in which Irwin Mitchell became the first multiple-licensed ABS in the UK and all parts of our business are performing well.

“We are in a good position to grow significantly and to take advantage of the right opportunities when they come along.”
