More than 2,000 visitors attended last month’s Legal IT 2001 show at the Business Design Centre, Islington. Of these, 65% were in practice, half of whom were in firms with up to 10 partners, 15% were in firms with 36-plus partners; 28% came from commerce with one in five of these from companies with 500-plus employees; and 7% of attendees came from the public sector.

Commenting on the show, Bill Kirby from Axxia said the overall verdict on visitor attendance was one of “quality and quantity”.Axxia attended with some law firm clients, including Irwin Mitchell, Morton Fraser and Martin Kaye.
