Partners at CMS Cameron McKenna contributed £7.7m of capital to the firm’s business in the 2011-12 financial year, as accounts filed with Companies House show the firm’s highest earner pocketed £1.15m.

The firm’s limited liability partnership (LLP) accounts show total capital contributions increased from £805,000 in 2010-11 to £7.7m during the last financial year. The rise in contributions is likely to be attributable to a 2011 cash call, when the firm upped the amount of capital paid in by equity partners by £1,000 per equity point.
