One firm in particular again stands out from the morass of misery that has beset the Scottish legal market in recent years, as it did last year: Brodies.
Brodies has recorded one of the highest real-term turnover increases this year in the entire LB100: up 16% to £42.8m, leapfrogging Shepherd and Wedderburn, which has remained static. This is no flash in the pan either: Brodies five-year revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 7%, easily the highest in the peer group and all achieved without a merger.
