Dublin, March 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Energy Industry Attorney Hourly Rate Report 2017" report to their offering.

The 'Energy Attorney Hourly Rate Report 2017' examines the hourly rates of Attorneys (Partners, Counsel, Senior Associates and Associates) at the Law Firms most active in the Energy Industry. Rates are analyzed by Individual Firm, Firm Revenue Size Group (Top 10, 50, 100, 101-200) and Firms outside of those traditional rankings - Non-US Firms such as Magic Circle Firms, large Regionals, small and middle-market firms and boutiques. Additionally, the Report slices the data by City to highlight geographical pricing differences. As you will see, hourly rates by Firm and Position will vary.

If Technology is the backbone of the global economy, then Energy is the blood. Energy now and going forward will be ever more important - both traditional oil & gas especially with the massive reserves of natural gas in North America and green alternatives. Energy embodies almost all major practice areas of Law - Corporate, Litigation, Environmental, Regulatory, Insurance, Transportation and Antitrust and although energy prices from all sources will fluctuate the demand for legal services will continue as will hourly rates and fees.

Key Topics Covered:

Section 1: Overall Rates by AMLAW Group

Section 2: Overall Rates by Firm and Companies

Section 3: Overall Rates by Energy Company and Firms

Section 4: Rates by Practice Area & AMLAW Group
