**The 2018 Legal Trends Report**

**A data-driven study of the legal profession**

![Clio legal trends report cover image](https://info.abovethelaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clio%20legal%20trends%20report%20cover%20image.png?width=300&name=Clio%20legal%20trends%20report%20cover%20image.png)

Every lawyer wants to know how to make their firm succeed. They want to earn more revenue, but may not know how to get there despite working so hard each and every week.

Clio analyzed anonymized data from nearly 70,000 legal professionals to create an updated report on large-scale industry trends that would otherwise be invisible to law firms, such as: 

- Despite working 50 hours per week, the average lawyer dedicates only 2.4 hours to billable work per day
- 77 percent of lawyers are playing catch up outside of business hours to complete work that was never finished during the day.
