Law firm revenue was up in both Northern and Southern California in 2017, outpacing most other regions surveyed in a recent report from Citi Private Bank’s Law Firm Group.

The gross revenue for Northern California firms increased by 7.2 percent in 2017, which was the highest among the 11 geographic regions analyzed, said John Wilmouth, senior client adviser in Citi’s law firm group. Southern California firms saw gross revenue growth of 5.9 percent, good enough for fourth-best in the country when compared to other regions.
