The 2009 Am Law Tech Survey

The American Lawyer's Alan Cohen reports that one-third of the 110 Am Law 200 law firms participating in the Am Law Tech Survey for 2009 reported that their capital budgets were down more than 10 percent this year. Staffing levels and salaries have taken hits, and equipment purchases and software upgrades have been put off. Cohen's summary of the survey's findings with links to charts for budget, communications, operations, quality of life, software, VoIP and wireless are available here. [JH]
