Brabners' clients also include Matalan, the Commonwealth Games Federation and Lancashire County Cricket Club.
As well as the Rooney-Vardy case, the firm has represented England cricketer Ben Stokes in his criminal and disciplinary matters as well as Mr Stokes and his mother in their cases against national newspapers.
In a statement signed off by the board, submitted to Companies House, Brabners said: "The firm's strategic ambition is to be the UK's leading intendent law firm.
"After four years of constructive growth, the strategy for the next phase of the firm's development is 'purpose-led growth, value-driven efficiency'.
"It is through this strategy that the partners believe the firm can make progress towards achieving its strategic ambition: by continuing to invest in developing its client relationships; by building a strong market position in key sectors; by continuing to focus on delivering a high performing, innovative and sustainable business; and by continuing to invest in, and engage positively, with its people.
"The members regard these results to be satisfactory and, as we start to emerge from the pandemic, believe the firm is well placed to refocus on delivering its strategic ambitions.
"During the pandemic, the firm made use of available government initiatives to support its business, as well as taking the appropriate actions to protect the firm's long-term position - including asking its people to make appropriate sacrifices in terms of accepting reductions in pay and conditions.
"As a result of the actions taken, and the performance of the firm during the pandemic, it has been possible to repay some of the support received, both from the government and from the sacrifices made by the firm's people."
