Pinsents to cut 40 support jobs to eradicate post-merger duplication

To be fair, is anybody surprised? There had to be some financial incentive for the merger to be worthwhile after all - why would two law firms merge other than to share overheads, which sadly includes support staff, who surely must have seen the writing on the wall well in advance. That aside, it remains that this merger was just a fundamentally bad idea. The eventual financial gain after the dust has finally settled will be minimal and 100% not worth the hassle / associated costs and disruption to the working environments.
