The Peer Monitor Economic Index (PMI) rose two points to 57 in the third quarter, reflecting improved demand for law firm services. It was the third consecutive quarterly gain in demand and the strongest jump since Q4 2012.

Transactional practices continue to be among the strongest, while litigation continues to struggle but managed to show flat demand for the quarter.
