Leading news

Two years ago, Eversheds International Limited launched our 21st Century law firm report. Although controversial at the time, many of our predictions for the future of law firms have since come to fruition and alongside numerous high profile articles in the press worldwide, we have had a large number of requests for the report from established and new client contacts.

However, with the worst of the recession over, it's now time to re-evaluate and uncover the lasting effects of the downturn on the global legal sector as well as take a closer look at the shape of things to come. To this end, we have just launched the Law firm of the 21st century: The clients' revolution report.

The report gets under the skin of the issues that our clients really want to know about and answers the big questions, such as:

•  Is there a future for hourly rate billing?
•  Will the magic circle remain dominant in the longer term?
•  Is the client-centric shift sustainable?
•  How is the role of the GC changing?

Please find the report attached.
