Law firms have already grown and reshaped their leverage models over the last half-decade. But some of the most profitable firms are especially focused on increasing their nonequity partner tier.

According to the 2024 Client Advisory from Hildebrandt Consulting and Citi’s Global Wealth at Work Law Firm Group, 83% of large firms said they expect to increase their income partner population over the next two years. The report described that as a “staggering jump” from the 68% of large firms who projected growth in that group in a survey last year.
