As California’s legal market saw an uptick in gross revenue and demand last year, with a half-dozen firms with Bay Area roots landing on the Am Law 100, a rebound in the Los Angeles market and a surging economy helped the Golden State fill Am Law 200 coffers.
At least a dozen firms, the bulk of them based in Southern California, secured spots on the Second Hundred list this year. But no firm was higher than Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, which has been on a nationwide expansion spree in recent months. The firm, whose roots are in San Francisco, rose to No. 104 on the Second Hundred rankings after reaping $331.2 million in gross revenue last year, up 11.7 percent from 2016.
