Opening a new office in an unknown region is always going to be a challenge but one not without its rewards where successfully undertaken. The Birmingham legal market continues to thrive and attract firms that can see the clear strategic benefits of opening an office in the country’s second largest legal marketplace, despite the fact that the city is already heavily bestowed with high calibre firms.
It is, however, not necessarily a case of more firms coming in and taking a smaller slice of a static legal services market. As many clients see the high standard of legal work which is now serviced out of Birmingham, and the clear value-for-money benefits in an increasing move away from a London-centric approach, the Birmingham legal services market continues to grow year-on-year.
