Pinsents enters contract lawyer market with on-demand business

The current ecnomic climate coupled with the demand for ever increasing PEP means the prospects of partnership is forever diminishing for aspiring lawyers. If you take away the big carrot of partnership, flogging yourself to generate huge profits for your boss becomes less attractive and a model which results in a reasonable wage and more work/life balance is more likely to take hold in that environment. Additionally, clients aren't stupid, they realise that barring big ticket jobs, the vast majority of work is carried out by individuals not teams - you don't need the size and costs of a large PP firm to get that, just access to the right people.
