Demand and revenue at Pennsylvania law firms are on the ups, but it’s being outpaced by above-average expense growth, a new survey says.

In its legal industry flash survey for the first nine months of 2018, Citi Private Bank found revenue growth of 5.6 percent among the 12 Pennsylvania law firms surveyed, just slightly below the national revenue growth of 6.3 percent. However, when it came to demand, Pennsylvania firms saw a 3.6 percent increase, higher than the 2.5 percent growth nationally, according to David Altuna and Lisa Kohut of Citi.
