Personal injury law firm smashes revenue target and increases pre-tax profits
Wythenshawe-based personal injury law firm, Express Solicitors, has exceeded its £60m turnover target for 2024, with revenues for the year hitting a record £70.6m, it revealed today (September 16).
Last year the firm posted turnover of £54m.
Estimated pre-tax profits for Express and its Ontime Reports medical reporting agency are £15.317m, which is compared with £13.326m in 2023.
Ontime’s contribution to group revenues was £11.5m, up from £7.8m last year.
Express currently has around 24,000 open caseloads.
CEO, James Maxey, said: “We set ourselves a target of £60m a few years back but we’ve got there much quicker than even we expected.
“The past financial year has been another amazing year for Express with developments across the whole firm. We continued our recognition as a The Lawyer Top 100 Law Firm, advancing 12 places to #80 from our 2022 position – we’re hoping for an even better result this year.”
He added: “Over the course of the year we consolidated our sites and moved to a 40,000 sq ft office, which has undergone a multimillion-pound refurbishment. The offices include a gym and showers, roof garden and multi-faith room and we have had EV chargers installed for use by staff and visitors.
“We also welcomed 17 newly-qualified lawyers via our trainee programme and, with the acquisition of two fellow south Manchester PI firms in 2023, Amelans Solicitors and Jefferies Solicitors, our staff count surpassed 665 and our senior team has been bolstered by new partners.”
He said: “We celebrated our first internally-qualified barrister and we’re continuing to develop and nurture our employees – we’ve just promoted a total of 97 employees across the group.
“But that’s not all, we’ve refreshed the brand and have been investing more in digital marketing in a mission to improve the whole client experience.”
