Law firm starts redundancy process

A law firm in Manchester has started a redundancy process as it undergoes a significant restructuring involving the relocation of front-line services, a recent news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.

Linder Myers was acquired by Metamorph Law at the end of May 2016. Buyers have subsequently carried out a comprehensive review of the business and decided that "some significant changes are needed". These changes include relocating front-line services in Manchester and Chester, and moving to Sale.

The review also identified "some areas of the business where there is a significant mismatch between the amount of work being generated and the capacity of the staff available to do the work". As such, Metamorph Law said that a redundancy process has started that would be completed as quickly and sympathetically as possible.

Simon Goldhill, chief executive of the Metamorph Group, said: "Metamorph Law is a business that focuses on providing services to private clients and their businesses and therefore needs to be close to where they live and work.

"Having our lawyers based in city centres is not the right location. Our new offices provide a better environment for both clients and staff."
