Bankruptcy Law Services Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2014 -- Bankruptcy law services have a buyer power score of 4.3 out of 5, indicating that buyers have a strong level of negotiating power due to the declining average price for this service, the high number of suppliers, the financial stability of vendors and low price volatility. “The average price has fallen in the three years to 2014 due to a combination of decreased demand and high competition among suppliers,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat.
The number of business bankruptcies has declined in the past three years because the rebounding economy has helped drive revenue for businesses, allowing them to repay their financial obligations. With fewer businesses going bankrupt, lawyers are experiencing decreased demand for bankruptcy services. Additionally, there are a high number of law firms in the market, helping to create a high level of competition among suppliers. “The combination of decreased demand and high competition has forced suppliers to reduce their fees for bankruptcy law services to gain market share,” says Krabeepetcharat.
Prices are expected to continue falling during the next three years as the economy continues to recover and the number of business bankruptcies continues to fall. The expected decrease in demand will force suppliers to further lower their prices, helping to boost buyer power. Suppliers' financial stability also helps contribute to the strong level of buyer power. With the average supplier not at risk of bankruptcy, buyers can be more confident when choosing a supplier that the law firm will not go out of business during the service contract, which further boosts buyer power.
However, the low availability of substitutes hampers buyer power. Buyers have few alternatives when declaring bankruptcy aside from trying to complete the process in-house or finding a lawyer to complete the process pro bono. Even so, very few businesses qualify for pro bono work. Consequently, the lack of substitutes limits buyer negotiating power. Major vendors include Baker & McKenzie, Baker Botts LLP and DLA Piper.
