The Law Society is focusing on identifying opportunities for growth in the legal sector, following the publication this week of the government’s ten-year industrial strategy, ‘Invest 2035’
Eight ‘growth-driving sectors’ have been identified for investment, including ‘professional and business services’. The strategy highlights opportunities such as ‘expanding into overseas markets’ and boosting lawtech.
Law Society chief executive Ian Jeffery said: ‘It is a breakthrough moment for the legal sector recognising its importance and acknowledging that it’s not just about the bigger firms but, very importantly, it is also about supporting the backbone of our economy, small business.’
