LONDON, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Growth in fraud, cybercrimes and other economic crimes is expected to drive the legal services market in the forecast period. Due to the increasing prevalence of fraud, law firms globally will face increased demand for legal services.

The global legal services market size is expected to grow from $713.12 billion in 2021 to $788.94 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the legal services market is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market for legal services is expected to reach $1112.75 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 9.0%.

ALSPs are non-traditional, niche companies that specialize in providing high-demand legal services such as document review, contract management, litigation support, electronic discovery, contract lawyers and staffing, legal research, and IP management.
