The world’s top-grossing law firms didn’t just cross the $100bn revenue threshold for the first time in 2017 - they vaulted across it.

Total revenue for the Global 100 increased a robust 6.4% in 2017, dwarfing rises of 2.8% and 3.1% from each of the previous two years. These firms brought in a collective $105.7bn dollars, almost $10bn more than the 2015 total. And a total of 41 firms cracked the $1bn mark, up from 34 firms in 2016.
