Insight

Our insights cover topical issues affecting solicitors and trends in the legal market and profession. They’re drawn from our expertise in research, customer insight, data analytics, horizon scanning and knowledge management.

They help you make better decisions, by giving you up-to-date evidence-led insight relevant to your needs. Better decisions mean better services, more satisfied clients, greater social and economic impact, and ultimately a stronger legal system.

  • make informed business decisions and save time and money through insight on business, legal and economic trends
  • plan your workforce and your career through legal sector trends and insight on staff wellbeing and inclusivity
  • future-proof your business and stay profitable through horizon scanning, economic research and insight on lawtech
  • demonstrate the social impact of your pro bono work, corporate social responsibility, equality and diversity initiatives or charitable giving through our evaluation guidance
