Listed legal services businesses have faced additional pressures in the last 13 months: the twists and turns of the pandemic have been mapped by the ups and downs of their share prices. But on the whole, their solid market performance could well revive interest in legal sector IPOs.
Since Gateley made legal history in 2015 by becoming the first UK law firm to float on the London Stock Exchange, firm owners have been watching the performance of listed practices with interest. However, it is only in the past 12 months that the ability of listed firms to withstand a concerted market downturn has really been put to the test.

The Science Museum is facing a major backlash after naming Shell as the sponsor of its flagship climate exhibition.
‘Our Future Planet’ will focus on ways of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through controversial Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) technology and nature-based solutions, as part of a programme of events leading up to the COP26 UN climate summit in November.
The London museum is already under intense pressure from campaigners over its existing relationships with oil companies BP and Equinor, with a number of key speakers pulling out of the ongoing series of ‘Climate Talks’ in protest at the institute’s continuing polluting ties.
Two south London boroughs rank among the top ten areas where people are most likely to buy an SUV. New research shows SUVs are most popular in affluent urban and suburban areas, with Chelsea topping the list, followed by Richmond in fourth place and Wandsworth in seventh. The study, conducted by Badvertising, a new campaign to stop adverts fuelling the climate emergency, found two thirds of SUVs are registered to urban households. The report further found that areas where SUVs are most popular correspond closely with those where road space is most scarce. These areas are also where the highest proportion of cars are parked on-street.
A new study has found that most SUVs in the UK are bought by city drivers.
SUVs and crossovers are now so popular that some automakers such as Ford and Buick no longer build traditional passenger cars. The SUV sales boom is showing no signs of slowing down either, as many automakers like Audi and VW estimate that SUV sales will continue to increase dramatically over the next few years.
As a result, World Wildlife Fund is concerned that large SUVs clogging up city centers is harming the environment and wants to ban excessive SUV advertising in France. Now, the RAC Foundation is warning people in the UK to rethink their car buying habits as many people are using large SUVs to cruise around town rather than go offroad. We should all choose the right vehicle for the right trip to cut the size of our carbon footprint, the RAC Foundation s Steve Gooding told the BBC.
