This year, The National Law Journal team has partnered for the first time with our colleagues at ALM Legal Intelligence for one of the most comprehensive benchmarking surveys for law firms: The Survey of Law Firm Economics.
The survey collects a host of statistics from law firms and allows us to break down by firm size and region spending patterns on everything from associates to office equipment.
The more firms and solos that take the survey, the better able we are to provide a more comprehensive picture of law firm finance around the country.
That’s why we need your help. Please follow this link to find a copy of the survey and instructions in electronic form or via PDF.
Firms that take part in the survey receive a free excerpt of the results and a free metropolitan area study of local compensation, billing rates, and billable hours. The survey will enable your firm to benchmark its financials and to assess its performance and profitability.
The survey deadline has been extended to May 7, 2010, and the NLJ will report on the results in the Aug. 30, 2010 edition. We hope that you will take part.
