Our annual Benchmarking report provides crucial insights into the financial health of the legal industry and underscores the key challenges faced by law firms and their leaders.

This year, the survey has been streamlined into a single, concise questionnaire, making it quicker and easier to take part, while still capturing the key data needed for meaningful, high‑quality analysis.

By participating, you’ll gain access to a comprehensive benchmarking report, enabling you to compare your firm’s performance against peers and identify opportunities to enhance profitability, efficiency and long‑term growth. Please use your latest available financial information – internal management information works perfectly well – this does not need to be audited or approved. 

Submissions will be accepted until Friday 31 July 2026. Don't miss the opportunity to take part! 

If you have any questions, please contact Crowe UK's Professional Practices team.

In collaboration with the ILFM.
