Setfords named as only law firm in Financial Times top growth rankings

Setfords is the only law firm ever to be listed in the Financial Times: Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions, a list celebrating long term organic growth across all industries in Europe.

We have placed 34th among UK companies and 184th in Europe overall, an extraordinary achievement for a firm that continues to challenge the status quo of the legal industry and transform how lawyers work.

Founded in 2006, Setfords pioneered the consultancy model in UK law. Nearly twenty years later, that model has evolved into one of the most successful and respected platforms in the industry, built on the simple idea that lawyers thrive when they are given freedom, flexibility, and support. 

Our growth is fuelled by lawyers choosing to join our platform and building successful practices. With over 650 consultants nationwide and a dedicated support team of more than 180 staff, we provide everything our lawyers need to deliver outstanding service. Whether it’s marketing, admin, compliance, business development, IT support, or more, it’s all included at no extra cost.

This accolade follows a series of major milestones for Setfords in 2025: 

  • Recognised in The Lawyer Top 100 as the fastest-growing UK firm 
  • Named New Law Business of the Year at The Lawyer Awards 
  • Ranked in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work for three consecutive years 
  • Remained the only law firm globally to have achieved Double Gold Investors in People accreditations

At Setfords, we believe there’s a better way to practise law, one that puts people first and creates opportunities for lawyers to thrive.
