The AmLaw 100: Resources Consumed (Lawyers) vs. Revenue Generated

by | May 4, 2006 | Articles, Finance, Partnership Structures, Strategy

A great deal of interest has been expressed in seeing a chart I created
earlier but unfortunately at low resolution to enable it to fit in a
browser window. 

The bar chart I’m referring to shows, for each and every
firm, the extent to which its share of total AmLaw 100 revenue exceeds
or falls short of its share of total AmLaw 100 lawyers (headcount).  For
example, if your firm has 2.00% of total AmLaw 100 revenue and 2.00%
of total AmLaw 100 lawyers, your score on this chart is 0—you’re
right on the X axis. 

On the other hand, if you have 3% of revenue and only 1.5%
of lawyers (cf. Skadden, more or less), your score will be +100%; 1%
of revenue and 2% of lawyers, -100%, and so forth.

pop-up window.

Questions and comments are always
welcome.
