It’s been a rough week in the UK. First Eversheds, and now Marks & Clerk who confirmed that they are merging their Liverpool office into the Manchester office and reducing the size of their Leicester office. As part of the reduction, Marks & Clerk is letting go of nine fee earners and 51 staff.
Marks & Clerk is a patent and trademark firm with offices around the globe. The closure of the Liverpool office will bring them down to 11 offices in the UK and 8 in other countries.
