Leading South West legal firm, Amicus Law, announces “best ever” first quarter in its 22-year history, with a 22.5% growth in turnover against the same period in 2025 and an increase of 65% in profits for the year so far.
With record financial results and a direct year-on-year growth, the results highlight the firm’s elevated position across the region and an ambition to match. It also recognises the firm’s development within its 113-strong team, ongoing technical investment, a huge increase in new business and strengthened financial planning – thanks to a renewed business strategy and long-term succession planning.
Compared directly against the same period in 2025, the growing firm has seen an average of nearly 60% increase across all case types, broken down by:
- 135% increase in Commercial
- 116% increase in Employment
- 39% increase in Family matters
- 37% increase in Litigation
- 19% increase in Private Client
- 5% increase in Residential Conveyancing
The results speak for themselves. We finished 2025/26 in a strong position and the results from our first quarter have further amplified our strong regional position. Growth is a key area of our business plan and having secured five years of continuous growth, we know our strategy will support this ambition for the years ahead.
