BTO solicitors announce record turnover and increased profits

BTO, which has 43 partners, and offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Helensburgh, has announced record turnover of £19.575m and increased profits of £6.371m, representing an uplift of 6.9 per cent and 16.9 per cent respectively, from last year’s figures.

Earlier this year, the firm undertook a governance restructure, resulting in a new management board, comprising Grant Hunter as managing partner and Caroline Carr as chair, along with Lesley Gordon, partner and David Walker, chief operating officer. BTO also hired three new, external partners during the year, as well as promoting one of its senior lawyers to partner.

In addition, the firm reported that it had finalised its strategic plan for the next five years and that it will be rolling out a refresh of its brand and launching a new website.

Grant Hunter, managing partner, commented:

“This is a really exciting time for the firm as we embark on the next phase of our development, building on our recent success and driving our strategic business plan, with its focus on high performance, growth and maintaining a positive and supportive culture.

“Our people and our clients are our primary concern. Among our key considerations are the development of BTO’s market profile in each of our practice areas, fostering strong relationships with our clients and ensuring outstanding service delivery, while at the same time driving growth through diversification in our client base, which our enlarged partner group will continue to deliver.”
