Should I get rid of /practice-areas/ in urls of a law firm site? Seems pointless.

It’s obvious that something like /tax-law IS their practice area, but practically every site has the /practice-areas/ prepended.

And we aren’t doing anything with our /practice-areas/ page, so it seems like we’d either need to move all the child pages to parent pages, or come up with something to put on the /practice-areas/ page. And… idk it’s part of our navbar and drop downs so it seems like it would be easier to just trash /practice-areas/

Thoughts?
