DLA Piper puts 251 in consultation across UK as firm mulls Glasgow closure

Future trainee - perhaps the best advice anybody could give is for you to use this as an appropriate time to rethink whether you want to enter into a profession that doesn't really make much money anymore, as clients become less and less willing to pay for quality service. The real failure here is that of the UK board to recognise the fact that DLA's position in the Scottish legal market is considerably different to that of its position down south - if the Scottish office continues to be treated as "just another UK office" then DLA in Scotland will continue to stand out in the Scottish legal market as a firm that clearly can't decide what its place in the Scottish market is. The big 4 Scottish firms consolidate and the other medium-large Scottish firms continue to grow - DLA's response = close the Glasgow office!
