Legal benchmarking report 2022
Read MHA‘s annual roundup of benchmarked income, profit, cost, financing and growth in SME legal.
The data featured in this report includes part of a year when the country was still working in lockdown during the original outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. In some firms it will therefore represent how well the business dealt with the transfer to working from home, how soon offices reopened, what changes were forced upon those legal practices and what strategic changes were made.

We hope you find the report useful and are able to use the information to support your own business plans.
