7 KING'S BENCH Walk has entered the bar top 10 with a fanfare, achieving the highest revenue per barrister at the bar ± an impressive £533,000. The set has just 40 tenants, including 10 silks, and saw a 10 per cent revenue rise last year to £21.3m. Chambers contributions have remained low, ranging between 10 and 12 per cent. The chambers' insurance expertise was highlighted during 2004, when Gavin Kealey QC and David Allen successfully acted for the Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company against Bovis Lend Lease. The judgment clarified an insurer's position with regard to global settlements and was regarded as a landmark decision.
