Lincolnshire's Wilkin Chapman boosts revenues with local merger

The previous comments reveal the gulf in the legal profession. Very many solicitors and legal support staff outside large metropolitan areas are on what London lawyers would presumably consider to be 'meagre rations'. The clients of these firms cannot afford excessive hourly rates and the wages of the law firm staff reflect this reality. Please keep in mind that firms like Wilkin Chapman provide a service that is valued by the communities in which they operate. It is regrettable that having an office in Grimsby or Cleethorpes is considered to be beneath the salt. We cannot all work in London. Surely what matters is the quality of the service? In straightened times is it not better to use a firm in a non 'exotic location' for routine work rather than to pay extra for an atrium and fancy plants?
