Legal
We’re accountants and business advisers for law firms – every one of us works with lawyers all day, every day.
Hundreds of law firms across the UK benefit from our team’s joined up approach, experience and unrivalled sector knowledge. Established 30 years ago, our dedicated Legal team has an understanding of every type of firm.
Working together
The legal market is changing. There’s been an increase in practice mergers and acquisitions, virtual law firms are becoming a reality and technology developments are changing the way lawyers work.
