The professional Practices Group

At Westcott’s we are proud to be a part of Prime Global, a global association where, as member accountancy firms, we support, learn and collaborate together. Veronique Constantine, Head of Professional Services at Westcotts, formed a legal sector specialist group in the UK where Claire Watkins (Partner at Buzzacott) and John Atkins (Partner at Larking Gowen) and Veronique meet up each quarter to stay up to date with what they see in the legal sector, and thought they’d launch a series of webinars discussing various salient topics to share with our clients.

Their most recent webinar is on the topic Finance Partners & COFAs: Top Tips for 2026. The 3 main areas covered are:

• SRA Accounts Rules – what were the themes in 2025 and what changes do we think should be implemented in 2026?
• Law firms financial management – our recommendations for the 2026/27 financial year, with discussion on the upcoming Budget.
• Final thoughts – things our clients asked us about this year which they perhaps didn’t in previous years
