The 2011 Survey of Law Firm Economics

In one of the most challenging economic environments ever, it pays to know where your firm stands versus the competition. How do you compare to similar-sized firms on billing rates? Are your revenues and profits in line with firms in your region? Do you have the right ratio of support staff and associates to partners? Are your realization rates above or below average?

Attend this conference exclusively designed for principals and managing partners of small to midsize firms. Led by Jennifer Tonti, Research Director at ALM Legal Intelligence in New York, this seminar will present some of the most comprehensive law firm financial data available. This survey delves into key performance indicators from more than 200 law firms — many of them small and midsized players for whom detailed metrics about the business of running a law firm are captured nowhere else. She’ll discuss the following issues and more:

This event is open to principals and managing partners of law firms only.

• Overhead — comparative statistics on the costs of doing business
• A breakdown of revenues and profits, information that can help you benchmark your firm’s gross and equity partner pay
• Realization rates
• Average billing rates for partners and associates
• Trends in associate-to-partner leverage and support-staffing ratios

Also meet Aric Press, Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of ALM's national publications, including The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal and Corporate Counsel.
