I do quite a bit of criminal defence work ... none of it English. The key to being able to charge a meaningful sum in fees was expressed by a client of mine who said "there are only a few of you and you are all spread out [over the country]". I would go further.

In order to do many items of legal work profitably we need there to be fewer solicitors able and willing to do the work, because, to paraphrase anonymous of 08.41, for so long as people are prepared to work for peanuts, clients will get away with paying peanuts.
