Lewis Silkin saw its average PEP tumble to just £162,000 in 2005, down from a strong £222,000 the previous year. The firm was paying for a new Oxford office, designed to serve employment clients, as well as extra office space in London and new hires at all levels of the business.

The firm is seeking to focus on its three core areas of media and marketing, employment and commercial property. It will also be hoping to improve on this year's disappointing performance in the litigation department.

Lewis Silkin brought in a new managing partner during the year in the shape of Ian Jeffery and formally established a fifth department, `media, brands and technology'.
