    The 2025 Am Law 100 Ranking Is Here! – Above the Law

    Biglaw had a helluva 2024. By nearly every trackable metric, the numbers were up, up, up. And now we’ve finally moved from anecdotal stories of highs and lows and gotten some real data with the announcement of American Lawyer’s 2024 Am Law 100. With a whopping 58 firms notching over a billion dollars in gross revenue, the financials of Biglaw look solid.

    Patrick Smith details the industry-wide trends:

    By the numbers, there is no other credible way to describe the overall performance of the 100 largest law firms by revenue: They crushed it.

    The collective Am Law 100 saw 13.3% year-over-year revenue growth in 2024, generating close to $160 billion in total. Virtually every major financial metric showed growth, including net income, which saw a collective 16% rise to more than $69 billion — a remarkable annual growth rate for that metric.

    The results were impressive firm by firm, too. Kirkland & Ellis hit $8.8 billion in revenue, almost jumping straight into $9 billion territory. Latham & Watkins landed squarely on $7 billion. DLA Piper crossed $4 billion in revenue.

    So, enough of the broad strokes — how did specific firms stack up? Here’s the top of some of the biggest categories.

    Gross Revenue

    Here’s the top 10 by revenue… which looks a pretty similar to last year’s top 10. Full 100 list available here.

    2025 Am Law 100 Rank (FY:2024) Rank Change Firm Name Gross Revenue Revenue Change
    1 Same Kirkland & Ellis  $ 8,801,740,000  22.11%
    2 Same Latham & Watkins  $ 7,000,000,000  23.06%
    3 Same DLA Piper  $ 4,239,832,000  10.71%
    4 +1 Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom  $ 3,669,042,000  12.20%
    5 +2 Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher  $ 3,557,623,000  15.73%
    6 Same Sidley Austin  $ 3,439,646,000  10.94%
    7 +1 Ropes & Gray  $ 3,416,636,000  14.16%
    8 -4 Baker McKenzie  $ 3,394,579,000  3.28%
    9 Same White & Case  $ 3,316,735,000  12.45%
    10 Same Morgan, Lewis & Bockius  $ 3,098,511,000  6.90%

    Revenue Per Lawyer

    But, of course, there are other important metrics in Biglaw. Take, for example, revenue per lawyer. RPL provides a relatively accurate picture of a firm’s overall financial well-being, and here are the five big name players at the top of the list. Full list available here.

    Rank Firm RPL Change from 2023
    1 Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz $4,472,000 4.68%
    2 Susman Godfrey $2,389,000 -33.55%
    3 Sullivan & Cromwell $2,333,000 5.14%
    4 Cravath, Swaine & Moore $2,256,000 15.40%
    5 Kirkland & Ellis $2,299,000 12.09%

    Profits Per Equity Partner

    The dogfight between Kirkland and Wachtell in PPP continues, with Kirkland getting the top spot this year. The full Am Law 100 profits per partner chart can be found here.

    Rank Firm PPP Change from 2023
    1 Kirkland & Ellis $9,253,000 16.23%
    2 Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz $9,036,000 6.22%
    3 Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan $8,643,000 18.89%
    4 Davis Polk & Wardwell $7,800,000 25.81%
    5 Simpson Thacher & Bartlett $7,664,000 19.14%

    We will undoubtedly have even more to say as we dig into these numbers and reflect on why, with such strong financials, so many in Biglaw have been willing to bend to a bully.
