Description
Regional offices have long been critical to some of the UK’s biggest law firms.
The essential components of today’s DLA Piper came from across the country, legacy Eversheds was formed of four firms from outside London, and Pinsent Masons was a Birmingham and Leeds outfit before it opened in London.
But in recent years, some of those firms’ regional offerings have started to look like the offices they are housed in: old, crumbling, unloved.
So on this episode of The Lawyer Podcast, we take a look at what Big Law is doing in England and Wales outside London, and why upstart regional firms are stealing their lunch.
