MARKET UPDATE

CURRENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. legal market continues to grow moderately accross all regions.

The strongest sectors are corporate (in particular mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and finance) and real estate.   We've seen some growth in tax and expect that to continue.  Litigation has recently shown improvement but is not nearly so strong as corporate and real estate.

 Intellectual property remains constant, although IP litigation has cooled somewhat.

Stay tuned.
