Saturday, February 06, 2010

Cork: A new firm of accountants and business advisers has been set up to work exclusively with solicitors.

Chartered Legal Management (CLM) offers a combination of business, accountancy and IT expertise. Through its unique software designed for law firms, clients can access key performance information at a touch of a button. The service is available on a customised basis for practices of all sizes.

CLM was founded by Cork accountants Mark Purcell, who is managing director, and David Hyland, also a chartered accountant and a director of CLM, formerly with James Hyland & Co Forensic Accountants.

"Solicitors now have to compete to win work; they have to take on the value proposition and need real time data for decision-making," said Mark Purcell.
