Revenue grew slightly at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, while L.A.’s largest firm, Latham & Watkins, saw a 4 percent decline. The largest growth came at smaller firms, like Quinn Emmanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges; Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton; Manatt, Phelps & Phillips; and Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis.  (See chart here.)
