Covers UK legal business: firms, appointments, deals and regulation
The Law News team covers the business of law in the UK: partner hires and promotions, law firm results and acquisitions, the deals firms advise on, and guidance from regulators and professional bodies such as the Law Society and the FCA. It has reported on the profession since 2022.
Stories start from the primary source, whether a firm announcement, published accounts, a regulator's statement or a survey, and say what has changed and for whom. Recent coverage includes Fletchers Solicitors' 47% rise in revenue to £113.3m, Ison Harrison's acquisition of Dootsons, Lodders' hire of family partner Aasha Choudhary, and the Law Society's practice note on AI and client confidentiality.
