Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors has reported another year of growth and progress as it closes its financial year ending June 2025.

Following a record-breaking year in 2024, the law firm has continued its upward trajectory. Turnover from client fees rose by 17.79%, reaching £5.2 million, marking the first time in Bell Lamb & Joynson’s 200+ year history that turnover has surpassed the £5 million milestone.

To support rising demand, the firm has expanded its team by 21% over the past 12 months, welcoming 28 new starters across its now five offices. New hires have joined every core department, from solicitors and legal assistants to operations, marketing, and leadership roles.

Key senior appointments include Helen Hynes as head of operations, Paul O’Toole as head of people and culture, and Martha Clayton, the firm’s first in-house marketing executive.

As part of its ongoing growth strategy, Bell Lamb & Joynson opened a new office in Ashton-in-Makerfield, its first outside of Liverpool and Cheshire. The office enhances accessibility for clients in and around Wigan, St Helens, and Greater Manchester.

To further meet client demand, the firm is also launching a new Contentious Probate & Disputes department in August 2025. This specialist team will support clients facing contested wills, inheritance disputes, and estate-related claims, offering expert advice and sensitive handling during often complex situations.

Bell Lamb & Joynson continues to lead with a people-first approach, reflected in an employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of +50. This score measures how likely staff are to recommend the firm as a workplace and supports strong retention and recruitment. Client satisfaction remains equally strong, with a 98.66% satisfaction rating and more than 1,800 verified five-star reviews on Review Solicitors.

Mike Leeman, managing partner at Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors, says: “Our growth this year, both in terms of turnover and team size, speaks volumes about the strength of our culture, our client relationships, and our long-term strategy.

“Welcoming 28 new starters, opening a new office, and seeing team members qualify as solicitors are achievements we’re incredibly proud of. Most importantly, they enable us to support more people, more effectively, every day.”

In May, Bell Lamb & Joynson was confirmed as the sponsor of the prestigious ‘Residential Property Agency of the Year’ category at the YM Liverpool Property & Business Awards 2025.
