LexisNexis is due to publish Bellwether 2015: The Age of the Client , the third annual report in its series, next week. The annual research is based on interviews with independent lawyers and private clients, and provides a state of the market account as well as useful insight into current trends and likely future developments. This year’s research looks at the forces that are transforming the traditional client/lawyer relationship, and how firms can meet new expectations. It will be particularly useful to independent lawyers, small- to mid-size firms and sole practitioners.
