Clyde & Co has all the hallmarks of an undiscovered gem. Its PEP in 2004-05 grew by 9 per cent to £500,000, a global margin of 35 per cent. In London, Clydes' profit margin rose to an impressive 39 per cent, although internationally that dropped to 23 per cent. Most of the firm's international turnover comes from its French and Middle Eastern offices, with income in the latter rising by 25 per cent last year.

PEP has now risen by 25 per cent in two years. The firm has also taken on an extra 18 partners in the same time period. It remains focused principally on litigation, particularly in the insurance market.

Clydes ended its financial year with the announcement of its takeover of aviation insurance boutique Beaumont & Son. Widely praised in the market as an astute move for Clydes, the linkup is likely to ensure continued growth and reaffirms its commitment to its key insurance client base.
