Financial management pays off as debt falls and profits soar at Simmons'

Simmons and Simmons' focus on costs and lock-up management helped the firm to increase profits and reduce borrowing costs for the last financial year.

Accounts filed with Companies House this week show that the firm’s net debt stood at £22.6m at the end of the financial year, down from £24.8m the previous year.

Profits for partners up

Profits available for partner distribution rose by 22 per cent, from £63.3m in 2013/14 to £77.2m last year. The amount of profit due to the highest-earning partner rose by 20 per cent, from £1m to £1.2m.

Luxembourg launch

Audited revenue rose by 7.5 per cent, from £268.6m to £288.9m, which the firm said was due to a recovery of business levels ‘in some jurisdictions’ and its launch in Luxembourg at the end of 2014. Source: The Lawyer
