MSB celebrates record year with 43 new starters and highest ever turnover

MSB Solicitors has marked a number of significant milestones, despite a challenging year.

The firm has seen its profitability reach record highs, with a 25% growth compared for 17% the previous year. It has also seen turnover increase from £6.3 million to £7.5 million.

MSB has significantly grown its team over the past year, in response to increased client demand and the launch of new offerings. The firm has recruited 43 new starters across the business, including four associate solicitors, three new equity partners and a head of department.

As part of its commitment to providing pathways for future talent, of the nine training contracts awarded last year, 100% have been taken on full-time as qualified solicitors. In addition, in February 2021 alone, MSB offered six new training contracts – the most it has ever offered in a full year.

For the first time, this year MSB has also set up its Partnership Programme, which provides senior associate solicitors with opportunities to become partners in the business.

Emma Carey, Managing Partner at MSB, said:

“The past year has been incredibly difficult for so many people, and we have had to work so hard to ensure our clients were impacted as little as possible as we transitioned to working virtually, alongside the many changes to legislation and complexities that we have all had to weather.

“It’s through the hard work and determination of each and every one of our team members, who go above and beyond for our clients, that we have been able to have such a successful year, despite the challenges we have faced.

“Supporting the next generation of the legal profession is so important to me so I’m incredibly proud that we have not only been able to help our existing team members progress in their careers but have brought on a record number of trainee solicitors to help them forge successful careers in the industry.”
