The Am Law 200 is the definitive ranking of the Second Hundred largest law firms in the United States by gross revenue. Published each June 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.
In 2022, the Second Hundred delivered a much stronger performance than their Am Law 100 brethren, posting higher gains in certain categories and smaller losses in others.
