Slaters charge ahead in the UK

Slaters charge ahead in the UK. Leading Australian law firm Slater and Gordon (ASX: SGH) released its half yearly results on Tuesday, which saw net profit after tax grow by 46.5% to $33.7 million. The company also announced the acquisition of two new law firms in the United Kingdom, continuing on its successful journey in expanding through acquisitions. Finally, the company confirmed its full year earnings guidance for revenue to be $500 million. We continue to be big supporters of the company and believe that the entry into the UK is still in its very early stages. Shares were up 17% for the week. We own Slater and Gordon in the investment portfolio.
