PKF Francis Clark
Chartered accountants and business advisers with an experienced, specialist legal sector team
PKF Francis Clark is the largest independent chartered accountancy firm in the South West, with 60 partners and over 850 staff in offices across the region.
Our specialist legal sector team was established over 25 years ago and advises over 120 law firms nationwide ranging from highly successful boutique practices to Top 50 firms.
The legal sector has changed significantly over the last 15 years following both the changes from the Legal Services Act 2007 and in the change in regulatory approach to the sector. These have presented some massive challenges, but also opportunities for the legal sector and some of our most exciting work for law firms during this time has been helping them pursue these opportunities.
Therefore, alongside the compliance services you would expect such as accounts, audit, tax and VAT services, our other areas of expertise include:
- SRA accounts rules (Andrew Allen, Head of Professional Practices, and Janet Taylor are authors of the 2021 Law Society Solicitors Accounts Manual)
- Development of annuity or retirement strategies
- Merger and acquisitions
- Profit improvement
- Refinancing
- Share scheme planning
- Restructuring
- Establishing overseas offices
- Supporting firms with member or shareholder disputes
