Legalweek.com reports that the UK`s 100 largest law firms by revenue have experienced their slowest income-growth rate for six quarters.
The average increase in fee income is 3.8% for the period ended on July 31, 2012 compared to the same period last year, representing the slowest growth since the period ending January 31, 2011.
The top 10 UK firms saw the smallest increase in fee income over the period, posting a 1.7% rise, compared with 2% for firms ranked 11 to 25 and 4.5% for those between 26 and 50,“ writes Pui-Guan Man.
