Historic Manchester law firm dating back to 1873 posts record revenues of £66.93m

RWK Goodman, which has achieved more than 26% growth across the last two financial years, achieved overall revenue of £66.93m in the 2024/25 financial year, following a year of strong continued growth across its three practice divisions and seven offices in the M4 corridor from London to Bristol.

The firm - which also has offices in Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Marlborough, Oxford, Sheffield, Swindon, and Thame - has enjoyed a revenue increase of more then 32% from the previous financial year (shortened to 11 months), with the results said to highlight the firm’s positive progress against its ambitious strategy to break the £100m mark by 2030.

"This strong set of financial results is a testament to the dedication and exceptional talent of our ever-growing team, and I’m proud to be able to share our progress against our wider strategy of sustainable growth and ambition,” said managing partner of RWK Goodman Paul Daniels.

"Our continued commitment to our people and our culture are key to these results, but my thanks must also go to our clients and the network of people and organisations we collaborate with for their unwavering support during this exciting period for the firm.

"It’s through them we have seen such strong growth as a firm over the last decade - growing more than 200 per cent since 2015 – and I’m positive we can maintain that ambition in the coming years to solidify ourselves as a leading national law firm."

All three of the firm’s practice divisions – commercial, private, and injury – saw growth across the board, with the firm's sector focus in commercial continued to expand, with its Health & Social Care team reporting a 34% year-on-year increase in revenue.

RWK Goodman, which employs more than 620 people, saw its workforce grow by 7.5% over the court of the last financial year, with the expansion particularly centred around the firm’s Bristol office, which opened in March 2024. This has seen the recruitment of six partners since September 2024.

This follows the appointment of a team of six, including two partners, to the firm’s compensation protection unit and the absorption of Swindon injury firm SJ Edney & Co in August 2024.

The financial year results for the year ending 31 March 2025 were the last full set under outgoing manager partner Graham Street after serving 15 years in the role. Paul Daniels stepped into the position in July 2025.
