Bircham Dyson Bell continued to reinvent itself in 2004-05. The 45-partner firm had been struggling with its image as a sleepy Westminster firm, but had some success modernising itself after offering clients communications and public affairs advice alongside more traditional legal services.

The new line secured a five-year appointment as the exclusive public affairs adviser to Merseytravel - a longstanding legal client of the firm.

Along with the takeover of social housing firm Jenkins & Hand, the changes saw PEP up 5 per cent to £220,000. Turnover was up 8 per cent to £24.7m.
