Many large New York law firms grew their revenue and profits last year, continuing to pull ahead of the national pack when it comes to financial indicators. Meanwhile, many of these firms reduced their New York head count.

The New York Law Journal compared financial indicators for the top 20 firms in the NYLJ 100, a ranking of law firms by their full-time equivalent lawyers in New York offices in 2013. The list is a glance of the largest private employers of lawyers in the state. The financial data was reported by the American Lawyer this week as part of the Am Law 100 report on 2013.
