Large Law Firms Continue To Draw Ahead Globally

Regional Analysis Of Large Law Firm Revenues As Share Of Global Large Law Firm Revenues

Regional Analysis Of Large Law Firm Revenues As Share Of Global Large Law Firm Revenues

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, November 28, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Growth in law firms with revenues of $5 million or more is out pacing the growth of smaller firms around the globe, a report from The Business Research Company shows. The difference is particularly marked in North America and Western Europe, where the majority of large law firms are headquartered, but it applies in all regions. The higher growth rate among larger firms is particularly notable as the partnership model, the major differences between different legal systems in different countries and the difficulty of commoditizing high-end legal services mean that there are no globally dominant law firms.

North America and Western Europe, the regions where the large law firms' growth is outpacing that of the small law firms by most, are also the regions where the law firms had the largest share of legal services business in 2017. In both North America and Western Europe, they had about 66% of all the legal services market in 2017, whereas in Asia Pacific and South America they had only 58% and 56% respectively. In the USA and UK, their share was even higher than in these countries' wider regions - 68% in the USA and 71% in the UK.

As a share of all large law firm revenues, North America's large law firms dominate with 48% of the $678 revenues of large law firms globally. Large law firms' revenues in the second largest region, Western Europe, were less than half those of North America, at $153 billion.

These trends in favor of larger firms are likely to continue, in part by their faster organic growth but in part by the larger firms engaging to a greater degree than the small in merger and acquisition activity. Companies in the industry seek to expand their operations in certain geographic markets, increase expertise, offer specialized services, or acquire a skilled workforce. The number of mergers and acquisitions of law firms has increased in the past five years and in 2015 reached the level of 91.
