A law firm slipped to a loss as its turnover was hit in the year it was taken over by a private equity giant that used to own ScS and Dreams.
Fletchers Solicitors, which has offices in Manchester, Southport and Leeds, was snapped up by Sun European Partners in October 2021.
Recently-published figures have confirmed the firm's turnover declined from £43.4m to £34.1m in the year to 30 April 2022.
