No. 3: Do billable hours offer value for money?
The billable hour has persisted for decades as the default way for barristers to charge clients and measure performance.
Yet some clients are pushing back on hourly billing as they seek more price certainty. As a result, more and more work is taking place through alternative billing methods.
In this report, we speak to law firms, lawyers and their in-house counsel to discuss the pros and cons of the billable hour model, the challenges of pricing matters when using alternative billing structures – and how these trends are likely to develop in the future.

No. 4: Legal Aid Deserts report
LexisNexis carrier out research into Legal Aid Deserts back in 2022. The report offers a detailed look into the areas in England and Wales with a high demand for legal aid and little to no access to local providers. While the data is over a year old, unfortunately very little has changed since, so the report is still well worth a read.
The report found:
- 12.45m people live in legal aid deserts for housing
- 1.09m people live in legal aid deserts for family
- 2.12m people live in legal aid deserts for crime
