South Coast: Coffin Mew ranked in top-10 best-managed UK law firms

South Coast law firm Coffin Mew has been ranked eighth in The Lawyer Magazine list of the UK’s 200 best-managed law firms over the past three years in respect of performance improvement and financial management.

In the last financial year, the firm, which employs 150 people at offices in Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton, Gosport and London, posted a 7.9% increase in turnover to £10.02 million, and a 7.5% increase in profit per partner. The company’s profitable growth and strong financial stability led to it posting a profit of £2.5m.

Last May, Coffin Mew opened new offices in Brighton as part of its strategy to widen its geographical reach on the South Coast, helping it to deliver services to local communities. 

Miles Brown, managing partner at Coffin Mew, said: “We are delighted to have been named eighth in the list of best-managed law firms in the UK. It is testament to the hard work we have put in to developing our growth strategy, client reach and brand across the south.

“We are looking to open further offices and double turnover during the next 24 months through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

“We are an ambitious and forward-thinking firm with a determination to win new business across the south while at the same time continuing to provide the very best legal support to our clients.”
