Blake Lapthorn Linnell saw its PEP plummet by 18 per cent to £125,000 last year, while turnover also fell, albeit by just 1.6 per cent, to £30m.

The firm's year ended badly when in April a former client sued for £300,000, alleging that the firm had failed to comply with time limits and drafting requirements in an arbitration case. At the start of the year the firm lost its leading corporate rainmaker Sean Wright to Shoosmiths and axed its three-lawyer education team.

On the plus side, the firm won its first-ever instruction from the Arts Council and recruited Taylor Vinters head of technology Simon Smith. But the honeymoon period after 2003's merger has definitely ended.
