WILBERFORCE CHAMBERS continued its expansion with the hire of its second magic circle IP partner in just over a year. Solicitoradvocate Alan Bryson joined former Linklaters partner Anna Carboni in July 2004 from Clifford Chance. This set the tone for a solid year, with revenue rising 10 per cent to £22.2m, but RPB slipped slightly, by 2.5 per cent to £505,000. The set's appearances in the Court of Appeal slumped from 55 last year to 28 in 2005, but there were other highlights. The set is advising one of the non-executive directors on his role in the Equitable saga. It represented the directors and liquidators in the TXU insolvency proceedings and advised Bankers Trust on its syndicated loan dispute with the City of Moscow.
