2019 ALSP industry trends
Results show fast growth, expanding use, and increasing opportunity
Thomson Reuters, in partnership with Georgetown Law’s Center on Ethics and the Legal Profession, the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, and UK-based legal research firm Acritas has launched its biannual update to the 2017 ALSP report. The 2019 report reveals even more growth in the alternative legal service provider industry than projected in terms of overall use and the breadth and sophistication of services.
The 2019 study has also been expanded beyond the US to include insights from corporate and law firm professionals from the UK and Canada. While trailing usage in the US, use of ALSPs in the UK and Canada is also projected to accelerate, but in some slightly different use cases.
