It’s that time of year again. We’re elated to present the 2018 NLJ 500, our annual report ranking the nation’s largest 500 U.S.-centric firms. We break out data for total attorneys, partners and largest U.S. offices and our national business of law team contextualizes the numbers.

Two features frame this year’s package. Washington, D.C.-based reporter Ryan Lovelace pens our overview story (page 14), and Miriam Rozen, who is based in New York, writes our story on the Women’s Scorecard (page 18), which ranks the nation’s largest law firms according to their percentages of female attorneys.
