In the second year of the pandemic, Greenberg Traurig rode the market’s insatiable appetite for deals to record revenue and elevated profits without significantly increasing its attorney ranks.

Revenue per lawyer tells the story: Last year, Greenberg Traurig added fewer than 40 full-time equivalent lawyers but grew its revenue by $270 million for an RPL increase of nearly 14%. The firm also exceeded $2 billion in revenue for the first time.
