Frets over franchises

Article Abstract:

Criminal law firms in Manchester, England, face uncertainty due to changes in the legal aid system. Smaller law firms could be especially affected. Rates of pay are lower for criminal law than they are for commercial law, so a reduction in rates has serious implications. Franchises involve administrative work which is a particular burden for small firms. Block contracts are to be introduced which could also create problems for both smaller and larger firms.
