2020 was a year unlike any other in the legal market due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will have a long-lasting impact on the legal market.

Many law firms in the top 200 weathered the pandemic due to prudent actions and smart planning – some even used 2020 as an opportunity for strategic growth. Lessons from past downturns helped law firms respond to near-term challenges and set the right priorities for the future.
