The Am Law 100 is the definitive ranking of the 100 largest law firms in the United States. Published each May through the efforts of Law.com Compass and The American Lawyer editorial team, this report offers firm-by-firm data on key financial metrics and deep analysis of the cohort's performance and what it means for the rest of the market. Information includes an examination of revenue, profits, per-lawyer metrics, head count growth and much more.
The 2023 Am Law 100 explores the financial, market and management trends that led to declines in certain performance indicators for these firms in 2022. While still achieving strong returns, the group as a whole took a step back from of the historic highs of 2020 and 2021. Firms were able to post gains in gross revenue, in large part due to rate increases and head count growth, but with demand constricting part-way through the year, profits and other per-lawyer metrics took a hit.
Below you will find our various rankings of The 2023 Am Law 100 along with several pieces of analysis of the market. The past three years of Am Law 100 reports can be found at the bottom of this page.
Reliance on work that propelled firms into the upper echelons of the industry may no longer be a safe bet. But there are other ways to approach private capital.
