Lodders has unveiled plans for its biggest-ever recruitment drive in its 230-year history, to grow its workforce by more than 25 per cent.

Managing partner Paul Mourton said growing the team to a 200-plus workforce is central to Lodders' ongoing expansion plans across the region and hopes

"The firm is in a really strong place," he said. "We have had an incredible 12 months, despite the challenges of Covid, with record-breaking revenue growth, new clients across the board, and some of the firm's most high-profile, high-value instructions that have seen our teams working with many of the UK's major players in their industries and sectors.

"To maintain this momentum, we are creating new roles. The firm needs to recruit at least 40 new people across our regional network by the end of 2022.

"Now is the perfect time to build on the firm's strong position and implement the next phase in our strategic plan, which will be the springboard for more growth and success.

"As a progressive firm, we will continue to be agile and adapt. This is a rare opportunity for ambitious people to be part of an exciting, thriving business and join one of the best and fastest-growing law firms in the region."
