The last 12 months have seen a number of law firms moving to new offices, with many signing 15 or 20-year leases. No-one can doubt that the legal market is going to change radically during that time, and no-one can be sure what the landscape will look like in 2031.

What is certain is that technology will continue to change the way we work, the legal services market will become even more globalised, and the impact of the Legal Services Act and the introduction of alternative business structures will change the market significantly.
