A law firm with offices in Manchester and Liverpool has given its staff a Christmas bonus after seeing its revenue jump during its latest financial period.

JMW Solicitors has rewarded its employees following its revenue rising 12% to £36.2m in the six months to the end of October 2022.

The firm added it is "likely to exceed" its target of £71.8m for the year to April 2023 but added that it is "dependent on the economy going forward".

The firm has not revealed how much pre-tax profit it achieved during the six-month period. In its most recently available full-year accounts, for the year to April 2021, it posted profits of £19.5m.

Joint senior partner Joy Kingsley said: "We are pleased to have continued to grow in the current climate. Our numbers have grown by 90 across all our offices in the last year and we are pleased to have attracted lateral hires to the firm such as Julian Richards, Ikram Malik, Cathy Leech and Robin Sharp in recent months."

Managing partner Marc Yaffe added: "We are extremely pleased with our continued growth. Our record six-month performance has been fuelled by the requirements of our existing clients and the addition of new clients across all areas of our firm. Our ambitious growth plans are aligned with our clients’ needs.

"The success we continue to enjoy is supported by the hard work of all our partners and staff and this is why we wanted to reward them with a bonus again at Christmas. We are extremely proud of all our staff."
