BELFAST and Newry legal practice JMK Solicitors has announced plans for a £1 million expansion that could add 10 new staff to its offices this year.
The company, which currently employs 45 people, is investing in career development, IT and marketing.
The business said it handled 1,290 separate personal injury cases last year - a record for the firm.
JMK managing director Maurece Hutchinson said: “The work we have completed and the clients we represent speak for themselves in clearly illustrating the firm’s ability and quality of service and it is a testament to our dedication to ensure that every client fully and fairly recovers their losses with the least possible stress.
“JMK Solicitors is establishing itself as one of the most modern, consumer-focused and progressive legal advisors in Northern Ireland, delivering outstanding legal services to meet a variety of consumer needs."
JMK chairman Jonathan McKeown added: "Our investment in new talent is central to a strategy that places experience and commitment at the heart of our plans for growth.
"Our specialist knowledge in these areas, years of working successfully for those in need of advice after an accident or injury has led to an increasing demand for our services and we are delighted to be able to make this significant investment in the local economy."
JMK was set up in 2003 and has helped tens of thousands of clients recover more than £100 million in compensation across multiple cases including personal injuries claims, road traffic accidents and medical incidents, accidents at work and injuries abroad.
