People Count Law is a unique human resources benchmarking study designed specifically for the UK law sector in partnership with HR in Law, and is led by a Steering Group of HR Directors.

There are two ways in which firms can be involved - as a participant and as a non-participant.

Participation

Participation in the study involves filling out a questionnaire, and on completion you will receive a firm scorecard which sets out how your firm's performance compares with 5 or more of your chosen peers and with the sector as a whole. This provides a powerful, tailor-made tool which you can use to contribute to performance improvement and cost management.
