Hubbard to lead lawyers for next five years
A BIRMINGHAM law firm has reappointed its senior partner for a second term as it reports record revenues.

Profit dipped to £4.4 million from £5.3 million the previous year which the practice said was as a result of investment into its new Manchester office and the recruitment of new staff.

“This broadened reach combined with attracting and retaining talented people committed to our purpose, and the work we do with our clients, has allowed us to continue to improve lives, commu
