Legal technology provider Dye & Durham and ALPMA are excited to launch our annual legal research survey in the lead up to this year’s Summit! This industry research report details key themes and trends influencing the Australian legal community.

The 2019 ALPMA and GlobalX Summit Research project involved surveying Australasian law firms to explore how firms are adapting to rapid change in the legal industry and establish a benchmark for firms who are potentially falling behind in future-proofing their firm.

“Are you ready for the future?” The 2018 ALPMA & GlobalX Summit research poses this question to Australasian law firms. New technologies, systems and shifts in culture are pushing law firms and the legal industry to quickly adapt. But how agile are our businesses—and how prepared are we for these changes?

The ALPMA & InfoTrack 2017 Summit research measured how well Australasian law firms were embracing the key 21st century learning skills of creativity, critical-thinking, communication and collaboration, as defined by the influential P21 organisation.

Over 160 law firms from across the region participated in this research, conducted in July 2016, and the results make fascinating reading. A key finding was a real disconnect between how innovative firms think they are and what they are actually doing in terms of investment in strategic initiatives

The 2015 ALPMA/LexisNexis research investigated what changes (if any) Australasian law firms plan to make over the next three years to: the markets they serve; their resourcing mix; marketing and business development strategies; internal systems and processes; legal services delivery model and strategic relationships - in order to position themselves for a successful future.

The results from the 2014 ALPMA/LexisNexis research "The Impact of the Changing Legal Landscape on Australasian Law Firms" were presented by LexisNexis at the opening session of the ALPMA Summit on Thursday 28 August at the Melbourne Crown Convention Centre.
