The firm listed the Trilby Misso acquisition, and the purchase of Melbourne's Kenyons Lawyers, Long Howland (Gunnedah), McGlades Lawyers (Ballarat), Stewart & Noble Lawyers (Wangaratta) and Adams Leyland Lawyers (Albury and Dubbo) as business highlights.

Slater & Gordon also reported compound annual revenue growth of 26 per cent, fee revenue from the non personal injury practices growing from $13 million in 2007 to $32 million in 2010 and a total dividend for shareholders that was up 18 per cent on the previous year.

The firm also reported that double digit organic growth is expected to continue and that potential acquisitions in the future will be explored.
