Professional services
The economic downturn has had an impact on many professional services organisations, irrespective of size.
According to a report from IRN Research, smaller legal firms focusing on areas such as conveyancing have been hit, but larger firms have also struggled as merger & acquisition activity and dwindled.
However, the outlook is positive, with many companies reporting signs of growth. The challenge is to manage this upturn in an increasingly competitive marketplace that is still experiencing serious price pressure.
