Chongatera: Trial Lawyers and Godfred Chongatera

chongatera: Small firms and relative newcomers, they say, are most exposed, according to CTV. Godfred Chongatera, a lawyer in a small three-person mixed practice in Halifax, said he estimates his overall business has fallen 35 to 40 per cent. While trial lawyers are perhaps most affected, many in the trade say other sectors -- such as real estate -- are also feeling the pinch. Declining revenues and work have meant having to lay off two full-time staff. If this drags on for a long time, some or most sole practitioners will fold. Who knows where this is going Chongatera said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
