A prominent Newcastle-headquartered law firm has revealed its fourth consecutive year of growth, with turnover reaching £19m.
Muckle pushed turnover up by 12 per cent in the period. It is the third year in a row it has grown by double digits, and fourth year of growth overall.
Growth has been seen across all teams. In particular, the firm’s investment plans executed in previous years have begun to pay off, with the highest increases in its agriculture, rural estates, and private client team.
The business has also continued to grow both its public sector work and its sports, education, and charities teams.
In the year, the firm added nine new colleagues to be an over 200-strong firm and made a number of promotions across its disputes, commercial, and corporate teams.
Elsewhere, following its B Corp accreditation, Muckle made grants of £46,000 to more than 30 charities, a 39 per cent increase from last year.
Anthony Evans, managing partner, said: “We are delighted with how we’ve done over the last year. We have a fantastic and engaged team in addition to having great clients.
“Our financial performance this year also reflects our great culture, the investments we have made and our long-term strategy.
“By having a well-communicated vision and five-year plan, we have been able to set clear goals which our team has done a fantastic job in achieving. By ensuring we grow sustainably, keeping to our culture and values, we will be successful for our clients, team and our communities.
“It’s an exciting time for the firm, as we are now in the last year of our current five-year plan, and just about to launch our plan for the next five years.”
