GROWTH IN 2025
T
o better understand how law firms can earn a competitive advantage in a crowded
market for legal services, I was honored to collaborate with Opus 2 to identify
challenges and opportunities in litigation support and case management. My
conclusions and recommendations are based on interviews I was privileged to
conduct with 30 litigation support directors between July and September 2024.
The research explores how litigation leaders manage increasingly complex dockets, navigate
a rapidly evolving technology landscape, and set growth objectives for their litigation teams.
It emphasizes the correlation between success in litigation support and case management in
midsize and large law firms throughout North America (with a median number of lawyers of
488), the effect of artificial intelligence on how dynamic legal teams approach disputes, the
influence of innovation and investment on these practice groups, and the expectations for
change in the industry.
