North West law firm Gorvins Solicitors has reported a record year with continued growth in revenues, profits and staff.
The Stockport-based practice, which employs more than 130 staff, saw fee income grow by 15% from £6.8m to £7.8m in the year to the end of November.
During the period, Gorvins recruited an additional 40 staff in new roles across the firm, mainly in the residential property team, led by Lorraine Lockie, where head count more than doubled, as did revenues.
Gorvins commercial law teams also delivered stand out growth; the corporate – commercial team led the way with a 32% increase, closely followed by employment (22%), commercial property (11%) and commercial litigation (9%).
The firm’s private client team also saw its fee income grow by 14% along with the addition of three new fee earners.
Gorvins’ managing partner Martin Hoare, who took up the post in December 2016, said: “2017 has been a year of excellent growth for Gorvins. We believe in getting the basics right and our success this year is very simply a product of delivering day in and day out for our clients. We will continue to invest heavily in our teams, people and infrastructure.
“We are grateful to all our teams, staff and especially our existing and new clients for their commitment. With their continuing support we are well placed to deliver for our clients and also further growth in 2018.”
