Litigation and insurance dominate Holmans' business, with 80 per cent of revenue derived from disputes. The core area is shipping, both wet and dry, although the admiralty side was particularly busy in 2004-05.

Holmans broadened its corporate practice this year. This currently generates just 10 per cent of revenue. The hire of ship finance partner John Forrester from Stephenson Harwood shows its intent to grow this by leveraging off its shipping clients.

The good year is reflected in the PEP figure, which broke through the £300,000 barrier.
