The legal sector is inherently multi-faceted and complex. For as many similarities as there are between firms, there are an equal or greater number of differences present in the resources they have available, the evolution of their technology, their staffing models, and their real estate. While industry change is inevitable, it’s important to consider that some change is driven by natural industry evolution while others are more provisional. Survey results from 2023 indicate that the legal sector has continued to lay the framework needed for evolutionary change as the industry continues its transition into an increasingly digitally-enabled world.
Cushman & Wakefield’s Legal Sector Advisory Group (LSAG) is proud to present the firm’s 10th edition of our annual Bright Insight report in partnership with ALM/American lawyer.
