Billable Hours Per Week at Mid-Sized Law Firms: What the Data Reveals

A recent report, “Strategic Sector Insights for the Legal Profession 2025: Mid-Sized Firms”, published by The Law Society and MHA, reveals a striking trend:

👉 More than 50% of mid-sized law firms report that their lawyers bill less than 25 hours per week on average.
👉 Less than 3% of lawyers at these firms bill anywhere close to the full 40-hour workweek.

While it’s unrealistic to expect lawyers to bill every hour they work, these numbers highlight why alternative pricing models are a key priority for firm leaders in 2025.
