A law firm increased revenues to nearly £17 million after an uplift in work by its commercial property team and with private clients.

Thomson Snell & Passmore, based in Tunbridge Wells and Dartford, said it aims to continue growth in these areas over the next five years.

Revenues were up 11% to £16.9 million in the year to June 5, after an increase of 6.3% 12 months earlier.

Its Thames Gateway office in Dartford saw revenues increase 22% to £2.2 million, with its private client side up 13% and commercial clients up 7%.

All its growth has been organic.

Chief executive Simon Slater said: “This has been a strong year of growth for Thomson Snell & Passmore.

“As we look towards our 450th anniversary in 2020 we have started to implement an ambitious five year strategy to increase both revenue and profitability, based on new and organic growth.

“These results are an encouraging sign that we are firmly on the right track to achieve this target.”

The firm employs more than 200 people, of which more than 100 are lawyers.
