Thorntons has credited pent-up demand in the residential property market, a major increase in Scottish tech deals and the backlog of court work caused by Covid restrictions, as key factors in its strongest-ever financial performance.
The firm, whose headcount now exceeds 550, published its annual results for the year to 31 May, which show turnover increasing to a record £31.2m; up 1.9% on the previous year.
Following a series of acquisitions and hires, Thorntons is now the fourth-largest independent legal firm in Scotland.
