Up to 50 jobs could be axed at Bristol law firm Lyons Davidson as major changes to the civil litigation system take effect.
Managing partner Mark Savill said in a statement: “The cost pressures that come from the fee and rule changes require us to operate our core personal injury work in our more efficient and economic teams around the country. 
“Structural changes in the market unfortunately mean that we have been unable to avoid this review.”
The moves comes despite the firm securing a number of recent high-profile alternative business structure (ABS) tie-ups, including a joint venture with motoring organisation the AA. Due to start trading next month, AA Law will handle mainly personal injury work for its members.
In April Lyons Davidson partnered with insurance giant Admiral to launch Admiral Law.
Lyons Davidson employs around 1,500 staff.
