Eversheds has instructed Accenture to review its systems and process in a move which could lead to a new round of redundancies at the firm.

The UK top 10 firm brought in the consultancy at the beginning of the year to look at ways to streamline and improve back office finance and HR systems. Accenture will present a number of options to Eversheds’ management over the summer, with a decision set to be made later this year.
