Mind the gap
Is being mid-sized still a good thing?
After years of turmoil for mid-size law firms, those who've survived the storm are in good health and feeling positive about the future. But the decision-makers at the top of these firms often have a rosier view of where they are in the market and what it'll take to hold on to their position in the future than their practising colleagues – and they both tend to have a higher opinion of their own service than the clients on the receiving end.
Based on interviews and surveys with 56 decision makers and more than 100 practising lawyers, the 'Mind the gap' report explores how mid-size firms feel about the health of their firm, their prospects for growth and how they're adapting to meet the changing needs of their increasingly demanding and tech-savvy clients and staff.
