Well over half of solicitors feel that stress in the legal industry is a major issue that can have an impact on employees. It’s widely agreed upon that more can be done to streamline working processes and increase efficiency.
Surges in Wills being contested means Will drafters must ensure their procedures are robust, to reduce risk to their business and their clients.
