There is a confidence about Hugh James, Wales' second-largest firm. New offices, rising revenue and some significant recent hires (including partner Penny Cranston from Cardiff rival Capital Law) have conspired to make this a good year for the litigation specialist.

The Blackwood and Merthyr Tydfil offices lend Hugh James less of a veneer of high-end corporate expertise than rival Edwards Geldard (thanks to the latter's Midlands outposts), but with profit also going in the right direction it remains relatively unconcerned about the activities of its neighbours.
