Setfords are pleased to announce our position as a finalist in the 2022 Growing Business Awards, in the category of Aquis Growing Business of the Year: Mid-sized Company.

Since 1998, the Growing Business Awards have been bringing together and honouring some of the UK’s most outstanding entrepreneurs and high-growth businesses. Consistent high-quality nominees, numerous categories and a finely-honed judging process have ensured the Growing Business Awards have made a name for themselves as a leading judge of past, current and future entrepreneurial success.

Setfords has earned a place in the finalists due to recent unprecedented growth.

Founded in 2006, Setfords was the UK’s first full-service law firm to launch a consultancy model. Since then, the firm has gone from strength to strength, experiencing the most prolific period of growth in the last two years.

In 2021, Setfords had a turnover of £17.9 million, which has turned into £34.7 million for the last financial year.

The firm has also achieved a massive increase in consultant lawyer numbers, with 125 joining in FY20 and 121 in FY21.

Co-CEO Guy Setford says:

‘We are delighted to be included in the finalists for the 2022 Growing Business Awards. This is a testament to our recent growth, which has been made possible by the hard work of our lawyers and support staff.’

Co-CEO Chris Setford says:

‘Our inclusion in this list of finalists shows the increasing popularity of the Setfords consultancy model and the opportunities we give for lawyers to work more flexibly. We look forward to continuing on our path for growth in the coming years.’

Setfords’ inclusion in the 2022 Growing Business Awards list of finalists is in addition to several awards and accolades in recent years, including The Sunday Times 100, Britain’s Fasted-Growing Private Companies and inclusion in The Lawyer Top 100.
