McKees law firm investment creates 15 new jobs

19th March 2020

One of Northern Ireland’s leading law firms has unveiled a new visual identity and completed a renovation of its Belfast office following a £250,000 investment and the creation of 15 new jobs in recent months.

The substantial investment by McKees, formally John McKee Solicitors, has included a technology upgrade, implementation of an energy efficient lighting system that will help reduce energy consumption, a complete office reconfiguration with increased meeting rooms plus a new kitchen and breakout room for employees.

Managing Partner, Chris Ross, whose great step-grandfather started the firm over 130 years ago, said: “We are delighted to launch our new brand and complete the renovation programme of our Linenhall Street office. McKees has enjoyed considerable growth over the last three years, in what has been a turbulent market, with a 20% growth in revenue and a 25% increase in employees, including 15 new appointments in the last nine months, now employing 64 staff.”

He added: “Our focus over the last number of years has been on building a strong, experienced firm and along with the addition in the last 18 months of two new partners, both leaders in their specialisms, Alan Bissett (corporate and energy) and Donald Thompson (banking and real estate), I have never been more confident in the capabilities of the teams we have in place at McKees and the exceptional service we can provide to our current and future clients. “We firmly believe that businesses are built on the strength of their people and their ability to deliver excellent service in partnership with clients. And with the right team in place and ambitious plans for further growth in the coming months, it’s an exciting time for McKees.”
