South East firm Penningtons had a steady 2004- 05, with the firm's property, commercial, IP and IT practices assisting it to increase turnover by a marginal £2.4m to £25.9m.

However, investment in premises in Newbury and Godalming, combined with an increase in the firm's partnership (which included the hire of new head of immigration Philip Barth from Mishcon de Reya), meant that the firm was unable to achieve a corresponding increase in average PEP.

Instead, PEP dipped by a rather dramatic 9 per cent to reach the lowly figure of £125,000.
