Davies Arnold Cooper (DAC) suffered the effects of a downturn in the product liability sector in 2004-05, reporting only a slight rise in both profit and turnover. The increase was due principally to the continued development of the firm's property practice, which took on three new partners at the end of the preceding financial year.

Insurance is still important to DAC, but in response to the poor performance in product liability and a drop-off in personal injury work, the firm is aiming to focus on higher-value cases in the future.

While average PEP rose by £2,000 to £280,000, the bottom of the merit-based equity dropped £40,000 to £160,000. Top of equity remains unchanged at £400,000.
