Roberts Jackson Solicitors is a law firm headquartered in Wilmslow, Cheshire in the United Kingdom. The firm was founded in 2009 by Karen Jackson and Oliver Jackson and currently employs over 200 members of staff. Karen Jackson gained notability in 2011 when she helped to popularise the phrase 'BlackBerry Thumb', referring to repetitive strain injury resulting from "overuse of a mobile phone for work purposes". Three years after being founded, the firm moved from its original premises at the Blackbox Business Centre in Wilmslow to Orbit Developments' Sandfield House, investing £200,000 in the relocation and taking a 9,231 sq ft, 10-year lease in a deal that, according to the developers, represented Wilmslow's biggest office letting for five years. In August 2013, the Manchester Evening News reported that the firms fee income had doubled, increasing from £3.5m turnover in 2012 to £7m in the same period of 2013. Firm director, Karen Jackson also told the MEN that they have their sights set on an increase to £23m revenues by 2014/15. Further to this, the Legal Futures website also reported that the industrial disease firm were eyeing up the option of an "Alternative Business Structure". In 2014 the firm secured £15m investment from NorthEdge Capital. Grant Berry, managing partner at NorthEdge Capital, director Jon Pickering, and investment manager Phil Frame led the deal. Berry and Pickering have joined the Roberts Jackson board as non-executive directors while Frame has joined as an observer.
