California law firms continued to enjoy growing revenue through the first three quarters of 2018, fueled by strong demand that outpaced most other regions surveyed in a recent report by Citi Private Bank’s Law Firm Group.

Citi’s latest snapshot of law firm performance found that both Northern and Southern California-based firms saw revenue growth accelerate to above 9 percent through September, compared to the industrywide average of 6.3 percent. Citi senior vice president David Altuna said that revenue for Southern California firms was up by 9.3 percent so far this year, while revenue for Northern California firms increased 9.1 percent.
