The firm said its staff numbers had increased significantly over the period, going from 158 partners and directors to 183 and a total staff rise from 784 to 844.

Last month it opened its 12th regional office, in Liverpool. Office relocations also took place in Leeds and Sheffield to acquire more space.

Peter Smith, Chief Executive of Freeths, said: “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.”
