COLLYER Bristow's £1m rise in turnover to £14m in 2005 reflects a mixed 12 months for the firm.

It faced a High Court claim for its alleged involvement in a multimillion-pound fraud against Cable & Wireless (C&W) and subsidiary Pender Insurance.

The firm was named as one of 17 defendants accused of breaches of fiduciary duty along with five former employees of C&W. The case settled a year later in January 2006.

That aside, the firm had a reasonable year financially, with the corporate, litigation and real estate departments all performing well. In March 2005 Collyer Bristow received a boost from easyGroup, which hired the firm to lead its defence in a High Court trademark fight against mobile operator Orange.
