Understanding the Legal Trends Report and its Impact on Law Firms
The Legal Trends Report, produced by Clio, provides insights into the legal industry based on data from over 150,000 legal professionals using Clio. It reveals that lawyers tend to bill less than they believe, with average daily billable hours around 2.6. Administrative tasks and inadequate time tracking contribute to this discrepancy. However, law firms that gradually improve billable work time can double their revenue over five years. The report also highlights the growing demand for tech-forward law firms, with 79% of legal consumers seeking the ability to work remotely with a lawyer. This shift towards shared responsibility and technology adoption presents opportunities for law firms.
