Fletchers Solicitors Limited

What Fletchers Solicitors Limited does

Fletchers Solicitors Limited is a Manchester-headquartered UK law firm founded in 1987, specializing in serious personal injury, clinical (medical) negligence, and dental negligence claims. The firm operates the largest clinical negligence practice in the UK and runs an integrated offering that combines legal representation with a dedicated rehabilitation and wellbeing team, alongside services such as Court of Protection, public inquiries, group actions, and product liability. Its client base consists of individual claimants — victims of road traffic collisions, workplace accidents, birth injuries (including cerebral palsy), and medical or dental treatment failures — served exclusively under Conditional Fee Agreements (No Win No Fee). Under Sun Capital Partners' ownership since 2021, the firm has scaled materially, reporting LTM EBITDA of £37.9M as of September 2025 (up from £8.0M at sponsor entry) on a headcount in the 1,001-5,000 range with 48 partners and 19 directors.

The business operates through seven UK offices (Manchester HQ, Newcastle, Birmingham, Leeds, Southport, Reading, Liverpool) and a multi-channel acquisition engine comprising a national telephone line, online enquiry forms, an in-house mobile app for secure client communications, and a BSL video interpretation partnership (SignVideo) — making it the first legal services firm to offer this accessibility feature. The technology stack is standard legal practice management, supplemented by Google Analytics, Ruler Analytics for call attribution, and AI tools used for document drafting, legal research, and data analysis (with a stated policy that client data is not used to train AI without consent). The firm holds Cyber Essentials Plus, is SRA-authorized (SRA number 469026), GDPR-compliant, and ISO-style information security certified, with FCA registration as an exempt professional firm.

Fletchers' revenue model is entirely No Win No Fee (Conditional Fee Agreement), generating income primarily via success fees deducted from compensation settlements when claims succeed, with the opponent typically covering the bulk of legal costs; unsuccessful claims carry no solicitor fee. The commercial engine is a PE-backed buy-and-build: Sun Capital's 2021 platform investment has been supplemented by 10 add-on acquisitions, retained sub-brands (Patient Claim Line, Minton Morrill, Cycle SOS), and a February 2026 single-asset continuation vehicle with a $10M incremental sponsor commitment. Recent acquisitions include Shoosmiths' PI/clinical negligence practices (2024), Scott Rees & Co (Jan 2025), and EMG Solicitors (April 2026), with the dental negligence practice having recorded a 135% increase in signed cases over the trailing 12 months and now expanding nationally into Reading and Birmingham. The firm is geographically constrained to England and Wales and explicitly does not operate in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or international markets.

Revenue model

1. No Win No Fee (Conditional Fee Agreement): Fletchers operates exclusively on a No Win No Fee basis. If the claim is successful, a success fee is deducted from the compensation. If the claim is unsuccessful, clients pay no solicitor fees. This arrangement allows access to justice regardless of financial situation. Legal costs are primarily covered by the opponent when winning, with success fees and insurance policies paid from compensation received.
