History

Historical Context

The 2007 Legal Services Act in the UK revolutionized the legal sector by permitting non-lawyers to own law firms, leading to a 20% increase in new legal entities by 2019. This shift towards Alternative Business Structures (ABSs) reflects a broader trend of multidisciplinary practices, as seen in the expansions of MSB Solicitors and Genova Burns LLC, enhancing service diversity and accessibility in legal services.
