With a fiscal year that starts April 1, leaders at Boston-founded Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo had a bit of an advantage heading into the pandemic in 2020: they were able to budget for it.

That, along with strong showings from the firm’s core practices in life sciences, intellectual property litigation and corporate work, allowed Mintz to see gross revenue climb by 9.1%, profits per equity partner jump 33.5% and net income increase by over 35%, according to preliminary projections for the fiscal year ending March 31.
