ALPMA's financial performance benchmarking research for law firms is back to benchmark New Zealand firms for FY25. This is a great opportunity to understand how your firm is performing compared to similar firms, identify areas for improvement - and then implement strategies to address them.

  • Revenue received by practice area
  • Overall profit rate
  • Profit per partner
  • Salaries as a percent of expenses
  • Rent & occupancy costs as percent of expenses
  • WIP days, debtor days and working capital
  • Clients with debts as percent of all clients
  • And much more!
