Many of the U.K.’s top firms believe that Brexit will continue to pose a “high threat” to their profitability throughout 2020, according to new research.  

In a new survey into what it refers to as the “U.K.’s top 100 law firms”, Thomson Reuters reveals that 42% of law firms identify reduced investment into the U.K as a significant risk to their own profitability. The second-highest risk is the uncertainty over free trade between the European Union and the U.K., with 38% expressing concern.
