Leeds: legal centre, over-lawyered but thinking big
Article Abstract:
Law firms in Leeds, England, face pressure on prices due to the large number of law firms competing in the region. Booth and Co is a major player in this market while Pinsent Curtis is highly respected in banking work. Tax work is seen as an expanding area for law firms, especially since the government may change. The assessment of business assets including employment deals and pensions is another area where work is expanding. Pensions schemes have had to be redrafted to fall in line with European Union norms.
