Business information company Wilmington is close Solicitors Journal and Trade & Forfeiting Review with seven editorial jobs set to go.

Weekly Solicitors Journal has been published for 160 years but appears to have fallen victim to pressure on advertising and subscriptions prompted by the advent of digital media. It was put up for sale but no buyer could be found, Wilmington said.

In statement the publisher said: “Wilmington plc announced in February 2017 that it was exiting the market in legal practice support services and would focus on its other divisional knowledge areas.
