Clark: Clients are looking for a different service
Listed law firm Ince has launched what it describes as the first integrated legal advisory, business consultancy and technology offering for the maritime sector.
Global senior partner Julian Clark said it was time for lawyers to “redefine what they do” and give clients the one-stop shop they wanted, a process he said was helped by Ince’s structure.
“Clients are becoming more sophisticated and looking for a different service, which is why the Big Four [accountants] have moved in.”
Mr Clark said that, when combined with the increased risks faced by clients, a “perfect storm” had been created for law firms, where “any kind of reaction is almost too late”.
