Setfords has achieved its biggest milestone yet in The Lawyer’s Top 100 rankings, climbing from 95th to 76th place. This marks not only our highest-ever position but also recognition as the fastest-growing UK Top 100 law firm, with an outstanding 47% organic revenue growth — the largest leap of any firm in this year’s table.
Founded in 2006, Setfords was the first full-service firm to launch a consultancy model in the UK. Nearly two decades on, we’ve grown into a nationally recognised brand with year-on-year growth, fuelled entirely by lawyers choosing to join our platform.
For two years running, Setfords has been the number one hirer of lawyers in the UK, with more consultants joining us than any other firm. Why? Because our model offers the perfect balance: freedom and autonomy combined with unrivalled back-office support.
Today, our 650+ consultant lawyers are empowered to build their practice, their way — free from billing targets, fixed schedules, or office requirements, and supported by a 180+ strong head office team providing admin, secretarial work, marketing, business development, compliance, and IT.
This recognition in The Lawyer 200 adds to a year of major accolades:
- New Law Business of the Year at The Lawyer Awards
- Inclusion in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work for the third year running
- Double Gold Investors in People accreditation, making us the only law firm in the world with this recognition
Together, these achievements reflect our belief that there is a better way to practise law — one that puts people first and creates opportunities for lawyers to thrive.
If you’re a UK-qualified lawyer looking for more freedom, flexibility, and support, we’d love to have a confidential conversation about how Setfords can help you build your practice.
