In response to the hundreds of members’ requests the State Bar of Wisconsin receives each year for up-to-date, Wisconsin-specific information about law firm economics, the State Bar of Wisconsin conducts a bi-annual survey to provide accurate information with which to respond to those inquires.

The State Bar of Wisconsin’s Economics of Law Practice Survey provides Wisconsin attorneys with a resource that helps them manage their practice more efficiently and effectively, allowing them to deliver higher quality legal services to the citizens of Wisconsin.

The State Bar of Wisconsin Economics of Law Practice Survey Report 2008 is designed to provide relevant and accurate information to inform and guide the practice management decisions of Wisconsin attorneys.

The survey reports on:

• Attorney income
• Prevailing average hourly billing rates for attorneys and legal assistants
• Time allocated to billable and non-billable professional activities
• Overhead expenses and management practices
• Staff compensation, incentive pay and benefits
• Perceptions on current or future economic circumstances related to the practice of law

So use the Report’s straightforward data, charts, and tables to accurately measure your ability to provide cost-effective legal services. And learn insightful information like:

• If perceptions match reality when it comes to the supply and demand for legal services
• What percentage of a practice’s earnings go to pay staff salaries and other overhead costs
• How other lawyers spend their time in a typical work week

Whether you’re a solo practitioner, a partner in a large firm, a government lawyer, or an in-house counsel, the Report is jam-packed with useful data.
