After a challenging 2016, Pepper Hamilton recovered some ground in profits per partner last year amid partner departures and a slight dip in revenue.

Pepper Hamilton saw revenue decline by 1.7 percent, from $347.5 million in 2016 to $341.8 million in 2017, as total head count shrank. But profits per equity partner increased by 14.3 percent in 2017, reaching $837,000 distributed among a smaller equity partnership. Partner profits are still shy of the $1 million mark the firm hit in 2015, meanwhile.
