Large law firms of all sizes appear to have weathered another challenging year and are relatively optimistic for the year to come, according to the results of ALM’s Q3 2023 Economic Flash Survey.

And while there is still uncertainty for 2024 surrounding the U.S. economy, there are comparable levels of optimism for Big Law specifically, driven by plans for aggressive rate hikes and increased demand projections.
