Leeds-based Walker Morris has changed little in recent years, growing steadily from the bottom up, and the strategy is paying dividends. Average PEP in 2005 was £575,000, a rise of 11 per cent from the previous year.

With a number of new public sector clients, including Lancashire's and Doncaster's county councils, and steady work coming in from other clients such as Cleveland Bridge, the firm is thriving on a solid base of commercial litigation, property and corporate work.

Managing partner Peter Smart predicts further steady turnover growth and plans to continue recruitment at assistant level in order to grow the partnership from inside the firm.
