Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr’s partner profits climbed by 7% last year while revenues dipped slightly, reports The National Law Journal.

The firm’s profits per equity partner rose from $1.08m (£669,000) to $1.16m (£718,000) in 2009, an increase that co-managing partner William Perlstein attributed to “at least a dozen” partners leaving the firm to join the Obama administration.
