Brick Court Chambers keeps its place at the top of the Bar 30, raking in 6 per cent more than last year to reach a turnover figure of £34m and £540,000 per barrister.
The excellent reputation of its joint heads of chambers, Jonathan Sumption QC and Jonathan Hirst QC, enhances the set's strong position as the richest in the UK.
Sumption was instructed by Barlow Lyde & Gilbert for the Football League in its dispute with Hammonds, while Hirst picked up an instruction from Norton Rose for ING Bank's claim against R&V Versicherung.
Brick Court appeared on an impressively varied list of cases this year, including Sir Sydney Kentridge QC's work for the Chagos Islanders in their case against the Foreign Secretary and Mark Cran's counsel to the State of Ecuador against oil exploration company Occidental. But despite successes this year, Brick Court is separated by only £1m from the chasing pack.
