Caseloads over the year grew by 36% to 19,015.
Marketing spend increased to £8.4m and "bolstered business" during the pandemic, with a new website and increased PPC working alongside the firm’s existing marketing routes, with headcount increasing from 308 to 389 employees.
Express Solicitors’ managing partner, James Maxey said: “It’s been another successful year and we’re delighted with our progress, despite claim volumes plummeting during the first lockdown.
“Our team has worked very hard to help us grow, and this has meant further opportunities for promotion and development of our lawyers and managers.
"Everyone in the business has done an amazing job of stepping up through the pandemic, getting the job done and continuing to provide exceptional customer service for clients.”
The Legal 500 firm also made 56 promotions across the business in the last financial year.
Express Solicitors also bought another undisclosed personal injury law firm and two caseloads, which it said "helped cement it as one of the top firms in England and Wales specialising purely in personal injury".
