Lawyers gain ground but spy new threat
Article Abstract:
Law firms in the West Midlands region of England have benefited from the UK economic recovery and increased activity levels for corporate finance. Law firms from London, England have seen a rise in demand and feel less need to compete with the West Midlands. Law firms from Birimingham in the region charge lower fees than London law firms. There is concern as to activity among some large accounting firms which are setting up law firms. The division between UK accounting firms and law firms has become less rigid.
