Half of U.K. law firm partners are seriously considering setting up their own firms, according to new research.
A survey of 200 partners, commissioned by the private litigation funder Harbour, found that the percentage of those who cited setting up their own firm as a career ambition has increased from 39% in 2021 to 50%. The figure also surpasses the number of law firm partners whose ambition is to take a senior leadership role within their current firm (46%).
