Specialist accounting, tax and business advisory services to help law firms develop and grow their practices.

The UK legal market is undergoing extensive change following the Legal Services Act 2007 and the setting up of Alternative Business Structures.  The consequent deregulation and changes to rules on ownership have resulted in new players entering the market offering specific services.  This means it has never been more important for legal practices to have robust reporting systems and management tools in place to understand performance and prepare for the future.

Wellers have a wealth of practical experience and extensive technical knowledge of the SRA Accounts Rules to assist law firms.  We understand both the issues and opportunities practices face with further reform in the sector and can guide and support you through this period of change.
