- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Company continued to invest in the Innovation and Legal Technology business directorate to support Trowers & Hamlins LLP with a focus on developing modern technologies and AI-driven platforms to assist in streamlining legal services.”
- “The company continued to improve and update its practice management system "3E" and carried out a pilot tests generative AI tools to support client work.”
- “The company also continued to update IT systems including virtualised infrastructure, laptops, printers, cyber security and mobile technologies necessary to retain Cyber Essentials+ accreditation.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
