Law firm Howes Percival has recorded a 12% increase in turnover since the start of 2020, with profits per equity partner also up 12% over the same period, according to its latest annual results.
The firm has seen turnover increase from £23.4m before the pandemic, to £26.3m this year and market share increase in Norwich and its other UK offices.
The last 12 months have also seen Howes Percival invest in a nationwide expansion programme, with close to 100 new recruits appointed in that period.
Howes Percival has had an office in Norwich for over 30 years and the team of more than 100 staff provide the full range of corporate and private client services to the city and the wider region.
Norwich partner Tessa Haskey said, “We are absolutely delighted with the way the firm has performed over the last couple of years. Like everyone, we experienced the shock waves when the pandemic struck, but we were able to adapt quickly to the new ways of working to support our staff and clients. As a result, we’ve have seen strong growth in core areas such as corporate and commercial, property, litigation, employment law and private client services.
“Our people have been at the heart of everything that has happened in the last couple of years and our focus was very much on ensuring that everyone was supported, valued and rewarded during such a challenging period. Together we developed improved ways of working and supporting each other that continue today, with more flexible working, more family-friendly working practices and health and well-being benefits. Our bonus scheme applies to all employees and recognises the contribution that everyone has made.”
