Law firms with their largest office in Pennsylvania saw their firmwide head counts remain relatively steady this year, according to The National Law Journal’s NLJ 500. But a closer look offers a more complicated story about the Pennsylvania legal market.

Among the 500 largest law firms in the United States, 34 have their biggest office in Pennsylvania. That’s not including several firms that were founded in the Keystone State but have grown larger in other locations. At the 34 Pennsylvania-centered firms, total firmwide head count barely changed, decreasing by 0.3 percent to 10,010.
