The firm also saw revenue increase to £82.5m, up from £82m in the previous year, while cash balances grew to £30.7m from £25.4m.
The firm credited its “continued progress” on the resilience of its clients and market leading instructions across its key practice areas of banking and finance, corporate and commercial, litigation, personal and family and real estate.
The firm added nine new partners with five lateral hires, and four colleagues promoted to the role of partner, bringing the partnership, as at 1 May 2021, to 113. Total headcount also grew in the year from 733 to 748.
