Atkin Chambers was delighted to support a new research report from LegalUK and Oxera Consulting LLP on the economic value of English Law to the UK.
The report establishes that English law is of value well beyond the legal sector and in fact annually underpins hundreds of trillions of pounds of business activity in the UK and abroad.
The report is the first of its kind to investigate the economic value of English law, as distinct from legal services. It finds that English law represents a significant asset and platform, in large part due to the fact it continuously evolves to reflect the issues businesses face.
