Legal

Global law is at an inflection point. Which firms will simply defend existing practices, and which will build the leadership capacity to capture new markets, scale expertise, and secure enduring client trust?
$1.37T
Global legal services market projected to reach USD 1.37 trillion by 2030.
84%
Law firms confident in growth prospects for 2024, with a focus on global expansion.

Firms feel very prepared to address emerging issues such as ESG, AI adoption, and cross-border compliance, whereas the majority remain unprepared.

In a market undergoing such profound change, firms need leaders who can anticipate client demand, modernize service delivery, and execute strategic growth, from lateral partner acquisition to international office launches.

Law firms face intensifying pressure—ESG and climate disclosure regimes, data privacy and cyber-resilience mandates, cross-border regulatory divergence, and the disruptive force of AI and automation. Sustaining margins requires more than incremental management. At August Leadership, we partner with Am Law 100 and 200 firms to identify practice leaders, managing partners, and C-suite executives who multiply talent, brand equity, and market opportunity.
