The Newcastle-based law firm announced the results in a statement published by [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/951141433/live).\n\n## Muckle's Fifth Year of Revenue and Profit Growth\n\nMuckle LLP is a North East law firm founded in 1920 and headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, according to [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). Its teams cover commercial, construction, banking, agriculture, rural estates, private client and contentious services.\n\nGrowth was reported across all teams, with the commercial, construction and banking teams all recording solid growth. The agriculture, rural estates and private client team also expanded in Cumbria and into Teesside. The commercial debt recovery team more than doubled in size from FY2026, and the firm added a contentious construction partner.\n\nAnthony Evans, managing partner at Muckle LLP, said: \"It is a real testament to our great people, clients and business partners; their continued support has delivered a fifth consecutive year of increased revenue and profit.\"\n\nOver the past five years, Muckle added the equivalent of 44 additional people and appointed eight equity partners, including three in April 2026. Ten promotions were made this year, including three to partner and six to associate, and 38 solicitors have qualified with the firm over the past five years. The firm opened a permanent office in Stockton in May 2026.\n\n## Muckle's Teesside Expansion and Partner Promotions\n\nMuckle promoted three new equity partners in June 2026, expanding its senior leadership bench, according to akta.pro company records.

The firm aims for its Teesside and Cumbria offices to contribute 15% of overall revenue by 2031.\n\nMuckle appointed construction law specialist Claire Cutmore as a partner in June 2026, marking her return after over 25 years in the field at various national firms, according to Bdaily. In July 2026, the firm reappointed associate solicitor Roland Fairlamb to its employment team after two years at a specialist employment firm.\n\n## Muckle's New Five-Year Strategy\n\nMuckle said it is embarking on a new five-year strategy focused on growth across its Newcastle, Cumbria and Teesside offices.
