AF Legal Group Ltd has reported a record half-year revenue of $17.8 million and its highest Normalised NPBT attributable to the owners of $1.263 million in H1 FY26. Profit attributable to shareholders increased at a higher rate than revenue, reflecting the continued success of the company's growth strategy and the operating leverage inherent in its relatively fixed cost base. Revenue growth was strong across all divisions and brands, with Family Law up 31% on the prior corresponding period, Contested Wills & Estates up 41%, and Criminal Law up 37% on the previous half. The company's people-first, practice-led culture has emerged as a meaningful competitive advantage, supporting the attraction and retention of high-quality legal talent. During the period, the company's Lawyer and Legal Support team grew by 32% relative to H1 FY25. The company is also implementing several enhancements to its non-fee earner support functions to keep pace with the business's growth. Marketing and digital initiatives, including improvements to the client onboarding process, have delivered a 23% increase in file openings for the company's digital-driven family law brands and a 40% increase in digital file openings for Armstrong Legal. The company's operating cash flow for the half-year period recorded a pleasing inflow of $2.4 million, reflecting healthy cash conversion.

The company currently expects FY26 to deliver a significantly stronger underlying profit result than FY25.

The company is well placed to further build upon its growth story, with solid revenue growth across all brands and divisions and continued success in attracting and retaining high-quality lawyers.
