[*]Pinsent Masons cut 78 Legal PA roles last year. [*]Freshfields offered voluntary redundancy to all secretarial staff last year. [/LIST] Law firms are restructuring these support ranks in response to a variety of factors (according to their press releases), including: [LIST] [*]Responding to changing client needs [*]Technology [*]Efficiency drives [*]Improving business performance [*]Evolving in a competitive legal market [/LIST] This is an example of how a changing legal market is having a real impact on the market. While trainees are not losing their jobs yet, the investment in technology is having an impact on support staff. [/QUOTE]
