LAC Group surveyed sixteen AmLaw 200 firms with global coverage to better understand the transformation of the legal industry and what these changes mean to law firm libraries and marketing departments. Participants included C-suite executives, managers and professional library and marketing staff. The purpose was to identify best practices, skill gaps, optimal staffing levels and changing needs for law firms today and looking into the future.
