North West firm DWF saw a 12 per cent profit rise on an 8 per cent turnover increase this year, bringing average PEP close to the £300,000 mark for the first time. However, despite an extra seven partners overall, the number of equity partners, at 19, remains small.

The standout departments were employment and property, which saw 22 and 23 per cent yearon- year growth respectively. Meanwhile, DWF's root specialism of insurance work remained strong, with plenty of work from key client Royal & Sun Alliance.

Business recovery was less strong, although banking remained steady with new instructions from Skipton Building Society and Yorkshire Bank
