Firms are outsourcing vast amounts of work to other countries for greater efficiencies. And with Brexit looming, more firms are considering location as a key factor to future success.
Across all legal businesses, retaining talent in a crowded market is becoming increasingly difficult, with tough competition both within the industry, and from US firms and the accountancy “Big Four”. Yet, diversity and inclusion are still issues as Law firms are seen to be too slow to adopt the needed changes.
