  • Support services for lawyers not doing as well
  • Hardly a small law firm in the country that hasn't considered letting go of some of its support staff
  • It's a tough sector right now
  • Recently qualified lawyers will find it difficult in the current ecomonic climate as jobs are not that easy to come by
  • Downturns in the US last traditionally 18 months. We are 6 months into our downturn
