More than half of Am Law 100 firm Taft Law’s $134 million revenue increase over 2021 came from its combination with a Detroit firm finalized on the last day of 2022, which added nearly $82 million to the firm’s topline.

Without the merger with the Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss, which granted the firm its 14th office, leaders at the Cincinnati-born firm say it would have grossed $467 million, or 12.5% more, in 2022. But the combination helped the firm gross $549 million, a 32% revenue boost and a 5.6% rise in revenue per lawyer.
