Eversheds to axe 33 lawyers; Norwich to close

Norwich Sad day for those in Norwich. I only hope local commercial firms have the good sense and long-sightedness to pick up good lawyers who may now be on the market. One wonders if this will be the first in a trend - do big global players need offices in Leeds and Sheffield/Manchester and Liverpool? How long do other outposts of the Eversheds' empire have? Will the new Northern offices of Midlands' firms survive? And the piece on Halliwells says a lot about London offcies of Northern firms. In a declining domestic market, this may be the first of a few such moves.
