England's largest set continued its rapid expansion last year with an impressive 21 per cent turnover rise to £26.2m. No 5 Chambers brought in five new tenants and now has a total of 162 barristers, 13 of whom are QCs.
Average RPB is still low at £161,500. Barristers' contributions decrease in terms of percentage of earnings as income rises, beginning at 15 per cent up to the £200,000 mark, and dropping to 10 per cent between £200,000 and £300,000. Those earning more than £300,000 contribute just 2 per cent of earnings.
No 5's biggest cases last year were an eclectic mix of commercial, planning, regulatory and common law matters in a variety of courts and tribunals. The set made one visit to the House of Lords, when Isabel Hitching was instructed by the Treasury Solicitors Department in Burton v Melham. |
