The numbers

As a result of this strong financial performance, the firm announced an all-staff bonus pool of £2.4 million (£200,000 more than last year) meaning that anyone working full time for the whole financial year received £2,231.

“On behalf of every partner in the business, I am extremely grateful for the role that everyone has played in winning work, being a leader in client experience and pulling together to support each other and push the business forward. Being able to pay a bonus reflecting the great performance of the firm is really pleasing.”
