Practice areas
The register records what somebody is authorised to do. It does not record what they do. This is the nearest answer available: the work named on 2,438 employers' own profile pages, for 2,157 of the 11,603 people on the registers.
19% coverage, and not a random 19%. A person appears here only if their employer publishes a profile page that names the work. Large firms do that and sole practitioners mostly do not, so these counts describe the visible part of the profession, not the profession. An area with 300 people is not a claim that only 300 people do that work. How this was built.
