Texas firms may not fare as well as the legal industry as a whole in 2020, but big firms from other markets continue to view the Lone Star State as a growth market, according to a new report from Citi Private Bank Law Firm Group and Hildebrandt Consulting.

The 2021 Citi Hildebrandt Client Advisory forecasts mid-single-digit revenue growth for the legal industry, even in a year when the pandemic disrupted business and injected uncertainty into the market. The forecast for Texas-based firms is not as robust, according to Michael McKenney, managing director for City Private Bank Law Firm Group in Washington, D.C., who helped write the report.
