Turnover up 6% to £30.2m

Revenue grew 6% to £30.2m in the year to 30 April 2025, from £28.5m, according to the senior partner’s review in the accounts Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP filed at Companies House in January 2026. The average number of employees, excluding members, rose from 305 to 315, and the average number of members from 40 to 43. Including members, the firm had 220 fee earners and 138 support staff. The firm put its workforce at 389 when it announced the results in December 2025.

The review sets out what the year’s work involved: the firm raised £900m on behalf of clients to fund 3,300 affordable homes, supported more than 3,490 clients and spent 23,000 hours on legal aid matters. It opened a childcare hub in Wolverhampton in September 2024 to support families in complex childcare proceedings, and launched an apprenticeship scheme and a social mobility recruitment tool. Its Strategy 2030 sets an ambition to double the firm’s social impact over five years.

A B Corp score above 100

Anthony Collins was recertified as a B Corp in December 2025 with a score of 101.5, up from 81.9 in 2022, the firm said. “For us, being a B Corp is more than an accreditation – it’s a reinforcement of our commitment to being a purpose led organisation,” Wort said.
