Legal Accountants sector illustration

Our specialist team who provides a wide range of services to the legal sector. We advise over 100 law firms across the UK ranging from top 100 firms to sole practitioners, so we can help you to manage your firm more effectively and profitably.

As the legal market becomes ever more competitive, crowded and aggressive, it’s vital to get the best advice and this is exactly what we provide. We deal with positives, giving advice that’s always proactive, knowledgeable and practical.

We have become leaders in our field because we provide experienced and skilled advice that reflects our involvement with the ICAEW Solicitors’ Special Interest Group, the Law Management Section of the Law Society, the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and other specialist legal groups at a national level.

Our involvement with these sector groups gives us close access to key regulators in the sector and ensures we remain at the forefront of issues affecting the legal sector from a regulatory, taxation and accounting viewpoint. It also provides us with a helpful platform to identify commercial opportunities for some of our law firm businesses.

We advise a diverse range of over 120 law firms and law firm businesses in the legal sector. These range from highly successful boutique firms to top100 firms. Geographically, our clients are spread across the whole of the country but naturally given our location a higher proportion of these are based in the south. The legal sector has changed significantly over the last 15 years following both the changes from the Legal Services Act 2007 and in the change in regulatory approach to the sector. These have presented some massive challenges, but also opportunities for the legal sector and some of our most exciting work for law firms during this time has been helping them pursue these opportunities.
