Berryman, which is set to merge with Shakespeare Putsman, is the largest single-site firm in Nottingham with 17 partners (six equity). The firm used to be heavily reliant on its criminal practice, but that changed in 2007 when James Jarvis became managing partner. Berryman now focuses on commercial property, corporate finance, employment, commercial litigation and private client work.
In 2010 Jarvis undertook another transformation, reorganising the firm into sector-specific teams, breaking the work down into four key areas: life sciences; healthcare; technology, media and telecoms; and rural economy. The firm fell short of its 2009-10 turnover target of £6.6m, but still managed a 1.5 per cent rise to £6.2m.
