Annual report shows goals were met

Legal, News | September 1, 2021

Shoosmiths

Law firm Shoosmiths, which has a thriving office in Milton Keynes, has launched its inaugural, annual Impact Report and has revealed its year end results for FY 2020/21.

The Impact Report shows the progress the firm has made in developing client relationships, reaching Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals outlining actions taken and reveals the firm’s year-on-year financial performance.

Despite a challenging year for all professional services firms, Shoosmiths’ financial performance for FY 2020/21 is strong, with revenue up 9% year on year to £167.9m, net profit up 31% to £55.4m and PEP up 41% to £658,000.

Commenting on these results, CEO of Shoosmiths, Simon Boss, said: “We are all extremely proud of how far Shoosmiths has come in the last year.

“As our Impact Report shows, the pandemic in this last year has been a test of resilience and character. We can confidently say our values, which have been in place for 20 years, never fail us and have guided us throughout this time, further underpinning what is important to us as a firm; being a responsible business that makes a positive contribution to society.

“And in terms of our financial results – there is a direct link from our values to our actions, to these results. Our success is built on our overall approach to be a responsible business and in going the extra mile for our clients. All this works towards our vision: to be the leading national law firm, famous for our client experience. We are all looking forward to Shoosmiths’ next chapter.”

Head of Shoosmiths Milton Keynes office, Partner Robin Webb, said: “In an extraordinary year these results represent the dedication our people have shown to our clients, and to the firm.

“We have embraced change, being among the first firms to decide a permanent new way of working, launching our working principles in July last year. These new working ways give our people more autonomy over when and how they work in a way that will enhance our client experience.

“Change has also sparked innovation, and we also launched our non-legal arm Shoosmiths8 Connected Services; offering products that make a real difference to our clients’ working lives, enabling their businesses to thrive post-pandemic.

“We’re proud to say that throughout FY20-21, we also made significant progress towards our ESG goals at an office and firmwide level, and welcomed new talent into our offices. This is something we will look to continue into our next financial year and beyond.”

Shoosmiths has recently been accredited with a Platinum award by Investors in People (IIP) – putting Shoosmiths in the top 2% of the tens of thousands of companies assessed by IIP.

The firm has also recently awarded all staff an additional ‘thank you’ payment in addition to their usual salary in the way of 7.7% (four weeks’ pay) of their annual wage at the end of May.
