Legal Services Trends 2007-2008 with a report from the Legal Marketing Association New England Conference in November of 2007 citing findings of the BTI Consulting Group.

From the same blog see: More on Legal Services Outlook for 2008, which states, “This year… a substantial number of firm leaders admit to being uneasy about the future. More than a quarter reported that they were uncertain about their firm’s prospects next year, and a few said they felt downright pessimistic. What’s going on?” See David Bario's article in The American Lawyer, Am Law 200 Managing Partners Issue Fog Advisory for 2008.
