About the Survey

By most measures, last year brought the best returns for America's biggest law firms since the Great Recession, headlined by 8 percent revenue growth. And unlike in some of the intervening years, that growth wasn't distributed only to the firms at the very top—as our Am Law 100 package shows, nearly everyone was in on the fun.

The Am Law 100 report includes details on all the numbers for every firm: gross revenue, revenue per lawyer, profits per equity partner, average partner compensation, profits per lawyer and more. And we take you behind the numbers with in-depth features that help tell the story of a record-breaking year for Big Law.
