Ok here we go …the annual legal vanity publishing event of the year has arrived.
We are referencing the Above the Law report who quote the American Lawyer…….
“The world’s 100 top-grossing law firms continued a post recession trend of slow and steady growth in 2015, with revenue hitting a new high after a sixth consecutive year of top- and bottom-line gains, according to our latest survey.
Revenue for The Global 100 increased 3.1 percent in 2015, to $96.6 billion, a record for this group. And average profits per equity partner rose 4.9 percent, to ?nearly $1.6 million. At current growth rates, total Global 100 revenue in next year’s survey will almost reach $100 billion.
Despite these gains, average revenue per lawyer (RPL)—a key measure of a law firm’s health and efficiency—dipped 2.1 percent, to $812,701. It is only the third decline in group RPL this millennium, after the financial crisis caused drops in 2008 and 2009, and the first time that Global 100 RPL has fallen without the United States economy being in recession.”
