Riding steady client demand, a more aggressive approach on billing rates, and a mix of burgeoning secondary markets, Quarles & Brady notched double-digit gains in revenue, average compensation, and net income in 2022.

The Milwaukee-based firm, which just added 30 lawyers through a combination this year with San Diego labor and employment boutique Paul Plevin, also grew profits per equity partner by about 9.4%—up to $968,000 in 2022.
