Data released this week showed UK legal turnover of £3.13bn in February 2021, a 4.1% rise on the previous month and an 11.4% increase on the previous February.
Julie Norris, partner at Kingsley Napley, said: ‘After the significant volatility of recent months, February 2021 showed a measure of “calm progress” on the part of the legal industry.’ January revenues had been down on December 2020, although December was the highest billing month for the profession in its history.
