Freeths LLP announces another year of continued growth with a recorded fee income of £78.9 million, a 9.5% increase on last year.
Over the past year staff numbers have increased significantly, going from 158 partners and directors to 183 and a total staff rise from 784 to 844.
A landmark moment for the firm has been the opening of a 12th regional office in Liverpool in April 2018, based in the city's prestigious 20 Chapel Street building.
Office relocations also took place in Leeds and Sheffield to acquire more space for the growing legal teams in those locations. Freeths have had a presence in the majority of the main cities across the UK for many years and recently celebrated their 20th anniversary in Leicester and 10th anniversary in Birmingham.
Peter Smith, Chief Executive of Freeths, commented:
"We are very proud that we have continued to grow organically and attract high calibre lawyers in all of our office locations. The financial results are testament to the work our teams put in throughout the year and we recognise this wouldn’t be achievable without everyone’s valuable input, so all staff will be rewarded with a bonus payment amounting to 7% of salaries."
