A spike in client demand for partners’ time and strong transactional work helped King & Spalding post a 14.3% increase in revenue to $1.53 billion and a 25.2% increase in net income to $713.45 million.
That growth translated into a 9.2% increase in revenue per lawyer to $1,255,000 and a 17% increase in profit per equity partner to $3,509,000, even with an increase in equity partners. It was the firm’s 11th straight year of revenue and profit growth.
