Deep dives
Insight into Midsize Law Firm Productivity
Recent findings reveal a significant disparity in productivity gains between midsize law firms and smaller firms. While general productivity metrics across the industry have shown increases—such as a 25% rise in cases handled per timekeeper and a 35% boost in billable hours—midsize firms only exhibited a 1.2% increase in the number of cases handled per timekeeper. This suggests that midsize firms maintain a consistent workload but face challenges in scaling their case management effectively. The findings indicate that midsize law firms may be underutilizing their resources compared to their smaller counterparts, highlighting an opportunity for improvement.
