2024 Legal Survey Results
Accutrainee examine results from a recent 2024 legal survey of legal leaders, identifying potential gaps and solutions.
In late 2024, as the dust settled on landmark elections in both the UK and the US, Accutrainee launched a Legal Leaders Survey to take the pulse of our network. We wanted to understand how legal teams — particularly in-house — are adapting to today’s fast-moving, complex environment. The findings were eye-opening, surfacing a blend of optimism, concern, and clear calls for change.
The survey focused on four core areas:
Legal team engagement
Key operational and interpersonal challenges
Generational differences
Future skill development needs
What emerged is a shared acknowledgement across legal functions: while technical excellence remains non-negotiable, the softer — and often more human — elements of leadership, communication, and development are just as critical for a high-performing legal team.
