Steve Allen, head of the Birmingham office of Mills & Reeve, is predicting varying fates for the legal services sector from January. He says: 'For most of Britain’s large and mid-tier law firms 2014 holds more promise than any other year in the last five.' But he goes on to conclude: 'The legal sector has endured a lot of consolidation during the recession. Now we are seeing an increased polarisation of the profession – the have and the have-nots– and I regret that while workloads and profits are returning to the top tiers, the challenges for smaller firms remain.'
