The NLJ 250: survey of the nation's largest law firms

Article Abstract:

The National Law Journal's annual survey of the nation's 250 largest law firms shows the 1996 growth to have been due to a surge in mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, employment and telecommunications work. The largest law firms employed 71, 918 attorneys, a 5.3% rise over 1995, making for the highest total of all time. The growth in the hiring of legal contract workers and in smaller, specialty practice units may change the way law firms are organized. A table includes the 252 firms in order of size with their principal office, branch offices, total lawyers, partners and associates and starting salary.
