Fixed costs are inevitable.

Cases will have to be run as efficiently as possible and will probably see a general reduction in the number of fee earners but an increase in their case loads. Fewer people, doing more work, for smaller fees. That will probably produce a market where only a few firms can make the work profitable. Only the best fee earners will be able to make the work profitable.

Difficult to see how quality of work will not suffer as a consequence, but that is the challenge that faces us.
