Scottish heavyweight Dundas & Wilson has made London a priority recently, evidenced by the recruitment of 10 laterals in an 18-month period in the City. Despite the significant investment in new talent and IT, average PEP (Dundas is an all-equity partnership) hit £256,000. Gross revenues for 2005 rose 11 per cent to £44.5m, while the London office has doubled its revenues in the last year.

Dundas's role for Scottish and Southern Energy on its £3.2bn acquisition of the gas distribution network from National Grid Transco, an £800m European hotel acquisition for Bank of Scotland and an innovative property unit trust deal for Scottish Widows were headline matters.

The exit of iconic managing partner Chris Campbell to Royal Bank of Scotland, who held the role for nine years, may mark a new era for the firm, but he leaves it in good shape.
