Strategic Pricing Survey 2025
Our 2025 study captures where firms actually landed on pricing this year and what leaders expect next. Headline: rate momentum remains solid into 2026, but leaders are watching realization/collections and a split demand picture that favors litigation and regulatory work over transaction-heavy practices. Firms are tightening governance, refining exception paths, and beginning to rethink models as AI and data capabilities scale—alongside expanded hiring for pricing, finance, and analytics roles.
