Boutique law firms in the U.S. - statistics & facts
Boutique law firms are law firms where all attorneys specialize in a single niche area of law, at the expense of all other areas of legal practice. This is to be contrasted to general practice firms, who provide a variety of unrelated practice areas under one common administrative structure. Key areas of law serviced by boutique firms in the United States include intellectual property, labor and employment, litigation, and technology and venture capital. Since the great recession of 2008, boutique firms have become increasingly important in the legal services industry in the U.S.
