Trends That Will Shape Legal Practices in 2021 and Beyond

1.An Aging Population

Baby boomers are still a dominant demographic. As they continue to age and retire in larger numbers, this impact will be felt across the country and throughout all industries – including the legal field.

More baby boomers can expect to see an increased demand in areas of law such as retirement planning and estate planning. Additionally, as older generations seek out more medical care and assisting living services, there is likely to be an increase in demand for lawyers who have experience handling claims in these arenas.

2.A Globalized Market

All industries are rapidly changing as a result of globalization, and the legal field is one such area affected by changing influences in the market. International lawyers who can handle disputes involving international business, trade, or even criminal issues will become even more vital in the years to come.

As an international hotspot, the McAllen metro—and its surrounding communities in the Rio Grande Valley—has deep ties with foreign businesses and entities, especially with Mexico, Canada, and numerous South American countries. As the region continues to grow, undoubtedly, the need for experienced and dependable law firms who can handle international claims is certainly bound to increase.

3.Reaching the Client Where They Are At

Some of the nation’s biggest law firms are looking to further their reach by meeting their clients where they are at. With the advent of the internet, and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, clients are quickly realizing that they don’t necessarily need to meet face-to-face with their lawyer.

Unfortunately, big law firms also have a reputation for being excessively expensive for the everyday client. To combat this image, law firms are placing themselves into new markets via satellite offices and by contracting lawyers from the region, both of which allow the firms to be flexible and responsive, and also fiscally successful.

Without the need to fully invest in an office and associated costs, a law firm can enter a new region and be competitive.

4.Micro-Niches

Data is becoming a critical tool for all business owners, including lawyers who own their firms.

Data can help pinpoint the specific needs of your clients – especially micro-niches. By capitalizing on data analysis trends, your law firm can better understand the specific goals and needs of your client, which will add great value to your reputation.

Targeting allows you to focus on a much smaller segment, benefiting your marketing efforts and skills along the way.
