Law firm finance challenges

Expert guidance and finance for the legal sector – from a broker who understands your biggest challenges.

Unpredictable revenue

Prolonged client lock-up can leave law firms and chambers struggling to meet tax obligations and maintain steady working capital.

Cash flow pressures

Annual PII and SRA renewals are essential for law firms, but they often fall at the same time and rise year-on-year, causing seasonal dips in cash flow and straining reserves.

Investing in the future

Growing your practice is key to remaining competitive. Yet costly renewals, large capital outlays and revenue dips can hold your firm back.

Legal expertise, backed by strategic partnerships

Shire Professions Finance are proud to be the only broker affiliated as a strategic partner to the Law Society.

This has strengthened our mission to make finance a positive tool – not a panic button – for law firms and barristers.
