UK About to Allow Law Firms to Raise Capital from Outside?

A EXTERNAL LINKsnippet from the website of EXTERNAL LINKKerma Partners:
"[...] The UK government's proposal to allow law firms to raise capital from outside investors has received somewhat muted response from the legal community. On the one hand there is a small group who are keen to explore this possibility, on the other a much larger group who see it as of little interest to them. [...]"
Irrespective of whether or not one can agree to such proposals, in any case they surely would lead to a major change in the landscape of law business. Tendencies towards commodisation might then be on the rise, and smaller firms would get more problems under the proposed regime unless they are highly specialised. However, I don't believe that on the long run any such de-regulation can be avoided at all.
