Browne Jacobson reported a record 37.4 per cent increase in average PEP last year, from £230,000 to £316,000, along with a 12 per cent rise in turnover to £27m from £24.1m.

The firm's growth was driven by a particularly good year in Birmingham, where revenue grew 27 per cent. It opened in the city in 1999 but has really started to motor during the last year following the recruitment of a corporate team from Hammonds two years ago. The firm hopes for yet more growth in Birmingham as it has doubled the number of partners in the office to 10 during the last year.

Browne Jacobson continues to have particular strength in the public sector, which accounts for around half of its revenue. The commercial business is strong in the insurance sector, with clients such as Hiscox, Norwich Union and St Paul's.
