A storming year for Speechly Bircham, which saw average PEP smash the firm's records to reach £365,000, a rise of 40 per cent. Turnover, meanwhile, rose 16 per cent to £29.1m.

Real estate work for clients such as Royal Bank of Scotland did particularly well, contributing 20 per cent of revenue, while the banking and finance team, which represents clients such as GMAC Commercial Finance and Wharton Asset Management, also saw significant growth. Last year's partnership restructuring, which saw two partners de-equitised, also inevitably had a positive effect on the PEP levels.
