It also plans to expand its overseas operation; the group has 12 offices in the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

The firm鈥檚 annual pre-tax profit more than doubled in the year to 31 July, jumping 138% to 拢1.3m.
Turnover increased by 11% to 拢26.9m.
Knowles predicted more growth in the next year through the office shake-up, European expansion and increased workload from adjudication, loss adjusting and other legal services.
