The legal sector is well-known for its entrepreneurial abilities – offering new services and advice to keep up with the needs and expectations of clients. However, in an increasingly saturated market, and when profit margins are stable, it can be hard to take the leap into further expansion – especially when the climate is ever-changing for businesses.
With this in mind, Business Wales invited some of the law firms it has supported to share their plans and experiences of growth with others, to inspire and showcase the benefits of taking a leap beyond the status quo.
Are you looking to expand your client base and geographical reach and need more than an organic growth plan up your sleeve?
The law firms interviewed below explain how they have positioned themselves to attract clients in England and overseas, and what management information is needed to justify diversify into new areas of legal advice – and new locations.
