The chairman of Howes Percival said the law firm has recorded a 12 per cent increase in turnover since the start of 2020, with profits per equity partner also up 12 per cent over the same period.
Geraint Davies, who is also a Leicester partner in the business, said turnover had increased from £23.4 million before the pandemic to £26.3 million this year. He also said the firm had taken a bigger chunk of the market share in Leicester, Northampton and its other UK office sites.
He said the last 12 months had seen Howes Percival invest in a nationwide expansion programme, with close to 100 new recruits brought in. The Leicester office, he said, opened in July 1997 in New Walk with a team of just six lawyers. Today, more than 60 of the firm’s staff are employed at the office, now on the Meridian Business Park, providing corporate and family law services.
