Fletchers Solicitors

Fast-growing injury & clinical negligence firm Fletchers appoints its 400th employee

Fletchers Solicitors, which specialises in serious injury, clinical negligence and motorbike injury, has appointed its 400th member of staff.

The firm, which has offices in Manchester and Southport, has increased its headcount by 345% in the past five years, and aims to become a top 100 law firm by 2018. In 2012, it had only 90 employees.

Ed Fletcher, CEO of Fletchers Solicitors, said: ‘Reaching the 400-team member landmark is a fantastic achievement and coupled with the firm’s recent accolades I’m confident we’re on target for achieving Top 100 law firm status by 2018.’
