Notwithstanding any decline in numbers consequent on reductions in Legal Aid or through any inability to obtain PI insurance this number is likely to continue to fall as consolidation takes a hold. Once the benefits of IT innovation are better understood (and become cheaper) aggregation is likely to accelerate. From the lawyers viewpoint economies of scale will be a driving force whereas the clients not only will demand more for less but brand loyalty will take over from individual relationships much as it already has with the supply of other professional services. Few firms doesn't have to mean few lawyers.
