Legal IT The Market Economics
Spend by law firms on legal IT is robust and getting stronger. It is not an option to cut back here, quite the reverse. This exhaustive and definitive report maps the 190+ suppliers of legal IT solutions to law firms alongside those specialising in document automation, GC systems and eDiscovery and litigation support. Taking economic data from 1995 to date and using that to project the market conditions to 2020, you'll find here answers to questions such as the cost of market entry, the barriers to entry, what are the main challenges for the coming 5 years?. Is Unberisation in legal services or disruptive technology a major factor? If so, by whom? Where? When? What role will AI and court digitisation play? Is replatforming on the horizon again? How did the market react to previous business cycles and re-platforming challenges and when will it face these again? How have disparate teams like K2, Riverview, Axiom, Peppermint, Ravn or Slicedbread fared in terms of investment to make headway here? Just what is the cost of gaining critical mass here in cash and time? The market addresses the macro issues for law firm software developers compared to other development sectors in legal services, and it explores the benchmarks for employee cost ratios over the long term. It shows detailed benchmarks for each sector in terms of sales, growth rates, profitability, what good looks like and what great looks like. The sectors mapped in detail are The Big Law sector, the Mid-market, and the Small law firm software developers. Leading players (not necessarily just the biggest) are highlighted, and second rank players are identified. Bright boutiques and go-to brands are clearly highlighted. The market share position for 70 of the top suppliers are then summarised so you can see who is outperforming the market especially. A pivotal market to the future of legal services in the UK, all of the key strategic issues are highlighted, time frames applied and the issues quantified based on real examples from the market. An unmissable support for M&A, strategic planning and business development, here are the facts - the foundations on which all of the rest sits. To assess the impact of M&A for LEAP, Advanced, Civica, Elite, BT, Lexis and others, start here. Uniquely this Report also applies the NED market share data to assist in drawing up the NED Shortlist Rankings. For each sector 1st Rank and 2nd Rank suppliers are highlighted. The factors involved are sales, profit, growth rates, net new sales growth over the long term and market share trend - all over the long term. The results may surprise some, as Big is not always best, but these rankings do reflect the best commercial and corporate finance performance for suppliers of all shapes and sizes. Buyers of Legal IT in a world where increasingly teams are swapping out one supplier for another will be looking here to see who is the most reliable, not just the most creative or the biggest.

Competitive Dynamics in Employment Law
There may be over 4000 employment lawyers in the UK, but there are only are 170 national law firms focusing around 2400 solicitors and fee earners on employment law services for UK business as a core service nationally. There are also 170+ consultancy businesses doing so now too. They each have their strengths and weaknesses, and this report highlights how this market now works, how it will perform to 2020, and more importantly what GCs expect from it irrespective of who is supplying it. For law firms - is version 1.0 of client marketing enough any more, or will version 5.0 deliver now? Having the best people may no longer be enough and the Who?s Who guides take you only so far. Segmenting clients by size and type is key, and this report shows the competitive dynamics involved at each level. What are the 20+ firms who just do employment law up to now? How successful are law firms at delivering HR consulting solutions too? Why are Irwin Mitchell and others tackling the regulatory consultancy market head on now? And how should it be done? From the core market economics to what GCs will and won?t outsource - and all points in between - the competitive axes in play are spelt out in detail. The 5 key issues (and the components of them) behind a commercial employment law service are examined in rigorous detail. This then informs assessing what to do next with the content marketing strategies, whether to bring an HR function in-house, what the critical mass is for a national team, the role of IT and many more questions are addressed. It need not be a matter of matching the millions behind teams like Riverview, but you do have to know how to play it smartly. This is the evidence you need to make your choices - all based on hard economic facts. Comparative corporate finance approaches to investment are clarified so you can see how steep the hill could be for your chosen strategy. Summarising 70 of the leading players in terms of their market share from 1995 and projected to 2020, you can see at a glance how the main consulting players are doing too. Unique market share charts covering decade of performance for suppliers show who is struggling, who?s just swimming with the tide and who?s setting the pace. Dismiss these challengers at your peril, they are already represented on some of the major blue chip legal panels and they want more. Every supplier is listed and click throughs from logos and innovative infographics enable GCs and purchasers of employment law services to assess each supplier directly. This major Report is comprehensive and full of surprises - the largest employment law specialist is no longer a law firm - 9 of the top 20 suppliers are consultancies, not law firm Big brands... Perhaps most important of all: it really is no longer an "Us v Them" choice in the mind of even professional buyers any more - GCs are as likely to buy from a consultancy as a law firm now. The costs of market entry also favour the innovators - be they solicitor led or not - with teams like 3HR, Capital People, HCR, Law at Work, Outset and rRadar showing how its done and done well. The market segment for teams doing employment law only is identified, quantified and key metrics established. This is indispensable reading for any legal services team looking at developing in employment law. The evidence bundle for your strategic away day - all of the key issues for teams managing a future in employment law are critically examined and the evidence presented. Then it is your call - we can't promise you more sales, but we can level the playing field, and we can certainly save you a vast amount of time in collating the facts you need to make your plays effective and lasting. Employment Tribunal list and fee changes hit law firms hard too. On top of PI business dwindling, it has made the more commercial firms redirect.
