Solicitors’ Fees are up by 89% in UK, London conference is told.
November 30th, 2007 by GilesThe hourly rates of law firms in the UK have increased by 89% nationally over the past four years, according to a speaker at the Sweet & Maxwell Forum for General Counsel held last week in London. The conference discussed ways of controlling the cost of external legal support. One of the speakers, Richard Susskind, a leading proponent of online legal services and author of The Future of Law and The Future of Law Revisited, told the conference that lawyers should move towards alternative models such as ‘commoditising services and multi-sourcing from alternative providers, including online.’
ContractStore’s most expensive English language contracts cost less than the time spent over a cup of coffee with a partner in a City law firm. And our links with smaller, specialist and innovative providers of legal services enable us to advise our customers on how to get the right legal advice at an affordable price.
So, if General Counsel want some savings on their legal bills, they can come to ContractStore for advice.
