Revenue results for 2018 could reveal the strongest growth for U.S. law firms since the Great Recession. But the Washington, D.C., market has comparatively struggled this calendar year, according to Citi Private Bank Law Firm Group client adviser David Altuna.

Citi’s flash survey of the third quarter found law firm revenue growing by 6.3 percent nationwide, while D.C. showed the lowest level of revenue growth during the same time frame—1.4 percent—of all 11 regions Citi tracked.
