Many law firms eased back on partner promotions last year, but the slowdown was less pronounced in New York—especially in corporate practices.

Amid slack demand for legal services nationwide in 2016 and an uncertain economic climate, the 25 law firms employing the largest number of lawyers in the state as ranked by the NYLJ 100 elevated 308 attorneys to partnership. That marks a 14 percent drop from the last round, when the group elevated 353 lawyers to partnership.
