Legal update: The Law Society’s Leadership and Management Section Financial Benchmarking Survey 2026

The 2026 Law Society’s Leadership and Management Section Financial Benchmarking Survey, written by our Legal team, has been launched.

“We are proud to be authors of these reports since 2009, which cover the critical operational and financial aspects of running a law firm. Thanks to the participation of a large number of firms of all sizes, this sets itself apart from other reports due to its depth of information and relevance to a wide range of users.” says Ian Johnson, Partner.

This year’s survey is based on responses from 121 law firms across England and Wales, with a combined fee income of over £1.2 billion. The key findings reveal strong growth, improved operational performance and reduced lock-up.
