The business employs about 700 people spread across 12 countries. Steve Georgala, the lawyer who is its chief executive, said that an ABS would allow one management structure. He described the UK model as a 'ground-breaking in this area.' He concluded: 'I think that what is happening in the UK is going to make it difficult for other countries to resist, now that the ownership of law firms is no longer sacrosanct.'  Source: Legal Futures
