One-stop data shopping about the size and composition of the legal services industry?  It's here on one handy page put together by "Envision Agency," a new name to me, which describes itself as a "full service marketing agency specializing in the legal vertical."

Hot dots from the data:

• In the US, there are about 900 firms with at least 50 lawyers;
• Total revenue of the industry is $118-billion;
• There are approximately 250,000 (they say 249,969, an exercise in dubious precision) firms;
• Employing 1,464,737 people (see above).

Other information is not data, but opinion.  For example:

• Mergers and consolidations are here to stay, or, as one might put it, to accelerate;
• The increasing professionalization of management on the business side is likewise;
• As is global expansion.

Great insights?  No.  Handy "bookmarkable" reference?  Sure.
