About the industry

The legal activities industry consisted of 2 410 establishments in 2006. These establishments employed 7 159 people and had a turnover of over NOK 8.4 billion, according to Statistics Norway’s structural statistics.

Data sources

Statistics Norway receives data from about 90 establishments in the industry.

Analysis

The establishments are divided into three size strata. For each establishment, price changes (ratios) from the price reference period to the statistical period are calculated. The individual price changes are aggregated and weighed according to the establishment’s size stratum, type of employee, type of client and type of case (civil or criminal law) in that order. All price changes are included in the total index. The weights used are calculated from turnover in each of the categories mentioned above. Turnover data are collected annually during the Classification of Products by Activity survey.

The price measured

The price measured in this index is average charge-out rates per hour (the respondents are asked to report invoiced rates if available or alternatively to use list prices), excl. VAT.

Time of measurement

The statistics consist of all transactions in the quarter in question.
