The situation was described well by the Australian when describing the legal market in that country: “The engine of growth for legal employment has shifted decisively away from top-tier law firms, as the middle tier grabs senior lawyers and clients.” In the US, the PMI published on 27th of July shows, quoting from the Executive Summary of the Peer Monitor Index:
“Am Law 100 was the weakest market segment in the second quarter with demand dropping 0.8% ‐‐ the only market segment to show a decline. For the second consecutive quarter, Am Law 100 firms showed the biggest drop in productivity despite having the lowest headcount growth. (our emphasis) Am Law 200 demand was barely up, climbing 1.0%. Having the highest headcount growth among the market segments contributed to a productivity decline nearly as steep as that of Am Law 100. Midsize firms had the best relative performance of any market segment. (our emphasis) Demand was up 1.9%. That helped hold the decline in productivity for the quarter to a relatively modest 0.8%.”
