James Beresford may be Britain’s richest solicitor. He made £17m in just one year from handling miners’ compensation schemes. His firm took 25% of the damages as a contingency fee. In fact the Department of trade and Industry was prepared to pay their costs, so all compensation would go straight to the miners.

The smallest claim was just 50p.
