BGF has successfully exited its investment in Setfords, a leading tech-enabled legal services provider, following its acquisition by private equity firm, Phoenix Equity Partners.

Setfords, an award-winning top 200 law firm based in Guildford, Surrey, was set up to disrupt the legal services sector with its consultancy network model, which brings together independent lawyers under a unified brand. The company was founded by Chris Setford and Guy Setford in 2006 and has since expanded rapidly, delivering 50 per cent compound annual revenue growth over the past 11 years.
