National audit, tax, advisory and risk firm Crowe, has launched its 2021 Annual Law Firm Benchmarking Survey, to provide insight into financial performances in the legal sector as well as key issues facing law firms.

Now in its tenth year, in addition to asking firms for their views on the key risks and challenges, Crowe will explore the trends highlighted in the results of its 2020 report as well as actions and future plans of firms throughout this period of unprecedented change.

Ross Prince, partner in Crowe 's Midlands office, said: “Our annual survey seeks to gauge the opinion of those who work in the industry on key issues concerns facing business.

“By request, we have also split the survey into two parts to make it easier for the financial and operational questions to be completed by the most appropriate person.

“The first part is relating to financial data - these questions are for firms to input their headline financial data and should typically be completed by finance directors and finance teams.

“We then ask for your views on some of the key risks and opportunities which impact law firms, and plans for the future. They are designed to be completed by managing partners, senior partners or finance directors. ”
