LIVERPOOL Law firm Hill Dickinson has reported an increase in revenue to £100.1m for the year ended April 30 with profits rising by almost £1m.

The turnover increase was 14.9% better than last year’s figure of £87.1m.

Net profit rose to £14.4m from £13.5m during the 12-month period.

The firm’s Liverpool office has seen a 16.5% increase in revenue during a financial year that has seen significant investment into its teams operating out of its headquarters in St Paul’s Square in the city centre.

During the 12 months accounted for in the financial results, the firm acquired the Liverpool and Sheffield offices of Halliwells, significantly enhancing its commercial offering.

Investment continues to be made into the firm, and there have been a number of partner hires during the course of the year.

The strength of the firm’s offering and its broad range of expertise has been recognised in a series of recent awards wins, which have included accolades for its claims team, corporate team and property team.

Hill Dickinson managing partner, Peter Jackson, said: “It has been a positive year for the firm.

“We have performed well across the board and are particularly pleased to see increased activity on the corporate side, with our team having grown significantly.

“We now look forward to another year of growth and to exploiting the business development opportunities that are on offer to us as a larger firm with enhanced commercial capabilities.

“The results for Liverpool are a reflection of the weight of expertise that we are able to provide to clients in the region, from across our network of offices.”
