Lawyers and accountants enter the fray
Article Abstract:
Traditional providers of private client financial services are facing increasing competition from other providers, such as accountants and solicitors. Accountant Cooper & Lybrand has a list of international clients with assets of 1 million pounds sterling and above. The company advises clients of the best ownership structure for their assets on a time spent fee basis. Solicitor Cripps Harries Hall manages more than 80 million pounds sterling of funds and believes that the service fits in with its other responsibilities to clients, such as estate planning and wills.

Tales of the city
Article Abstract:
The Manchester Financial and Professional Forum has changed its name to become pro.Manchester. The organization aims to strengthen the professional community and emphasises the ability of local firms to deal with large takeovers and other operations. The region will gain deals from outside and will also lose deals to outsiders, so self-confidence is needed to accept this natural phenomenon. The region of northern England is also important, rather than the interests of Manchester as a city.

Local firms prove their mettle
Article Abstract:
Tyne and Wear, England, could be affected by competition from professional services companies moving in from Leeds, England. There are six legal partnerships which predominate in Tyne and Wear. These include the biggest, Dickinson Dees. Venture capitalists include Northern Venture Managers, and 3i also operates in the region. There is a large accountancy profession in Newcastle. This includes Price Waterhouse. Competition from Leeds is not seen as a threat in this sector.
