he 2021 Survey incorporates
responses from 82 professionals.
A little over half of those are
with firm of 200 attorneys or
less; expanding the percentages
shows that 75% were 400 attorneys or less. In years
past we asked for the total number of employees,
but focusing this year on the number of attorneys
we support provides "better" information. As law
firms rely on the attorneys to earn revenue, there
is a direct correlation to resources with the number
of attorneys. With accounting for the data skew – I
believe it is safe to say that this year's responders
(thank you again for participating!) include smaller
firms than prior years and the results illustrate that
across the board.
Training
The leading responses for traditional webinars and
conferences is not surprising given the maturity
of litigation support professionals. This response
could also be skewed by working from home for
the past 20 months. I think this is a generational
question as well -- the analysts, project managers
and others who are not yet at firm manager /
