What's new in 2013

  • In response to client feedback, and to maximize the value of the information provided within the Billing Rate & Associate Salary Surveyplus, we are changing the Report Offerings to include targeted metrics for the firm managers responsible for interpreting and utilizing the results.

All of the BRASSplus Reports will now include summary graphical presentations of select metrics to highlight the firm's historical competitive position relative to a group of its peers.

Refer to BRASSplus to preview a copy of each new Reporting option.

  • The Cultural Awareness & Inclusion Scorecard (CAIS) Section 2 data form has been incorporated into the BRASSplus questionnaire. Additionally, Section 2 was modified from previous years to include only select information. This year the spotlight is on the success of recruiting women and minority attorneys, and programs for self-identified LGBT individuals and individuals with a disability. Any participant that submits this information will receive the results at no cost.

  • The Law Firm Services Group will host a series of complimentary weekly webcasts beginning in June. The webcasts will highlight rate and discounting trends for both a designated geographic location and practice group, and provide overall financial and operational trends for the given location.
