I have always prided myself on being a partner in a firm of solicitors that can 'adapt and adopt' to market forces. Having carefully considered the current level of domestic conveyancing fees and Tesco's move into legal services (see [2004] Gazette, 24 June, 1), I expect my firm to diversify into the grocery business. It is probable that from next week my firm will be offering customers 'free conveyancing with every 5lb bag of potatoes'.
