Last year’s Top 10 countdown in ascending order from No. 10 to No. 1 included these prophesies: Midwest job growth, contract staffing demand and supply acceleration, polarized law firm lit support models, nuanced Relativity software development by third-party channels, outliers in analytics entering legal, consultants being pressed to sell, fewer jobs above $150K base, a concrete ceiling for Am Law leaders and project managers, cybersecurity jobs entering the space meaningfully—and the No. 1 prediction for 2016 was “The Great Roll-Up” of service providers citing Epiq/Iris, DTI/Merrill and Ubic/Evolve.
