3PB announces record financial results
10th April 2024
National barristers' chambers 3PB (3 Paper Buildings) has announced record financial results in 2023-2024 with turnover of £35.8m and receipts of £36.1m, a rise of 17.8% and 14.3% respectively from last year’s results of £30.4m and £31.6m.
Simon Astill, 3PB’s Chief Executive, pictured here, said: “These have been hugely positive twelve months for all our twelve specialist teams. Our strategy of continuing to invest in technology to deliver remote hearings, legal research and resilience in cyber security, serving counsel and clients across multiple services, across the UK and internationally - particularly in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region – is bearing fruit. The positive financial results set the stage for us to confidently reinvest in marketing and office expansions, unlocking new opportunities for growth.”
David Berkley KC, Head of Chambers, said: “3PB continues to attract high quality entrants and established practitioners and monitors changes within the Bar and legal market, seeking to develop growth and opportunities across its practice specialisms.”
The six-office, multi-disciplinary set, recently saw Ben Amunwa (2013 call) join chambers from 36 Group - as their 250th barrister – and an addition to 3PB’s trio of highly-respected public law, education and employment teams. Details of his move to 3PB was reported here.
