South West
The South West Regional Office, Bristol, covers Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, and Monmouthshire. Dorset is not included.
There are 680 firms in the South West. 46% of these are sole practitioners. Another 37.1% have fewer than five partners.
Current issues for the profession in the south west:
- The sole and/or rural practitioner and their future role
- Competition and Tesco Law
- Local law societies continuing professional development provision, and funding implications
- IT and reducing geographical boundaries
The office is staff by a regional manager, a regional development executive, an office manager, and a secretary/receptionist. Read more about these roles.
