Flint Bishop, a prominent law firm with offices in Derby and Birmingham, is celebrating yet another exceptional year as it unveils its strongest financial performance to date. The firm’s unwavering commitment to excellence and strategic growth initiatives have propelled its revenue to a record high.
For the 12 months to 30 April 2023, turnover rose to £19.4m, an increase of 11% on the previous year. With 71 new starters onboarded during the financial year, the current growth rate has seen the firm boost its headcount by nearly 10%, with the total number of employees now standing at well over 200, the highest in the firm’s history.
The relentless dedication and expertise exhibited by all teams at Flint Bishop have resulted in numerous accolades and recognitions within the legal community. With the firm boasting several practice areas ranked in the prestigious ‘Top Tier’, and a record number of its lawyers listed as recommended individuals in esteemed publications such as The Legal 500 and Chambers UK, Flint Bishop continues to grow in recognition as the home of outstanding legal talent.
To cap off another highly successful year, Flint Bishop opened its new state-of-the-art Derby headquarters, the Pinnacle Building, earlier last month. This significant acquisition and investment in Grade A modern high-tech offices not only offers many additional facilities for clients and staff, but also symbolises the firm’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and reaching new heights, and reflects Flint Bishop’s reputation and position within the legal industry.
Commenting on the firm’s achievements, Chief Executive Qamer Ghafoor stated: “Flint Bishop’s exceptional financial results, coupled with its continued commitment to excellence and strategic expansion, set the stage for an even more promising future.
