Very true Charlie.

I think they should definitely have mobile access to the market that requires it, and at a guest the perfect fit at the moment would be conveyancing.

It's a very interesting piece of research which underscores the importance for professional service firms to create a mobile communications platform. There's been a tendency in the industry to spend mega bucks on beautiful website with all the bells and whistles. Paradoxically, few law firms have mobi sites which enable them to communicate with people on the fly. Perhaps time to shift focus?
