NLJ 250

The NLJ's annual ranking of the 250 largest U.S.-based firms by head count, shows totals dropped 1.1 percent, an improvement from a 4 percent drop in 2009. Taken together, this is the biggest two-year decline in the 33-year history of the survey. In fact, it's only the second time that the NLJ 250 head count has dropped in two consecutive years. (The first time, during 1992 and 1993, the number of lawyers fell 1 percent and 0.9 of a percent, respectively.) Much of this year's decline came in the associate ranks, which fell by nearly 1,000 lawyers.
