A personal opinion from a “usually tetchy but recently quite chipper old buzzard” on how the recession is affecting the legal world:
- Personal Injury – times have never been better
- Housing Law – good times!
- Divorce – quiet time of year, but come January, credit crunch or no, its open season
- Wills and Probate – dead as a dodo
- Employment Law – busy as hell
- Commercial Law – mergers, acquisitions, partnerships aplenty
- Insolvency – booming sector
- Conveyancing – pity the poor sods … this is as bad as anyone can remember
Just hope I can last out until January…
Estate Planning and Wills are always a last priority in good times or bad, but it is sad that people are more likely to persue a personal injury claim or attempt to write off a loan as mis sold rather than plan their families future.
Regards
Will
