The Lawyer UK 200 preview: Regional: North steams ahead in profit fightback

Are the North's firms in better health than those in the South? Surely when clients have little money, cost becomes more important. The Northern firms tend to be cheaper. Correspondingly the North is likely to be hit harder by the commoditisation of legal work. I think Newcastle firms are closer to the breadline and therefore are more likely to accept the buy out offers from the big supermarkets. Newcastle could be the Alternative Business Structure legal capital in five years.
