The Real Legal Market 2009
Since the beginning of 2009, there has been increasing spiral of anxiety in the legal market regarding the economic downturn. Talk of a changing law firm business model - in terms of staffing, pricing, growth and competitiveness - is everywhere. But what’s really happening?
Altman Weil got the answers through an extraordinary new survey conducted in March and April 2009. This Altman Weil webinar, The Real Legal Market 2009, presents our analysis and interpretation of the survey results, with an emphasis on the competitive opportunities we see for law firms in the current market. Program materials include a copy of the Survey.
Topics include:
- Workforce reductions: Are layoffs as bad as the media is reporting?
- Staffing alternatives: First-year and summer programs, partnership options, contract lawyers, outsourcing, offshoring, and more
- Growth plans and size as a competitive advantage
- Billing rates: Reductions or increases?
- Alternative fees: How many firms have made them profitable?
- Client acquisition strategies: Where are law firms spending their money?
- A changing profession: Fewer equity partners? Reduced leverage? More commoditized legal work? Lower profitability? Which changes are temporary, and which are here to stay?
Plus...
Special data cuts from law firms in five size categories - from under 100 lawyers, to over 1,000 - to help you understand what is really going on and how it applies to your law firm.
