Lawyers cash up

UK Legal industry turnover jumped to £41.6bn in 2021, up 11.5% on 2020 according to Office of National Statistics data released this week
2021’s results are the largest on record for the sector. Julie Norris, regulatory partner at Kingsley Napley, said: ‘These results no doubt chime with firm leaders' on the ground experience that workflow was buoyant even during a time of increased restrictions due to Covid-19 and the Omicron variant. However, firm leaders should not let these strong numbers distract them from the importance of supporting staff, attracting talent and continued regulatory oversight during the months ahead.’
