Definitions: Figures for gross revenue and net operating income are rounded to the nearest $500,000. Figures for revenue per lawyer, profits per equity
partner, and partner compensation are rounded to the nearest $5,000. Firms that tied in the rankings are listed alphabetically. Revenue per lawyer is gross
revenue divided by the number of lawyers. Profits per equity partner is net operating income divided by the number of equity partners. Average partner
compensation is the net operating income plus compensation to nonequity partners, divided by the number of equity and nonequity partners. Profitability
index is the ratio of profits per partner to revenue per lawyer. Firm size: For firms whose fiscal year ended after August 31, 2009, the numbers of lawyers and
partners are stated as of August 31, 2009. For firms whose fiscal year ended between March 31 and August 31, 2009, numbers are stated as of the end of the
fiscal year. We asked for full-time equivalent lawyer numbers, which were rounded to the nearest whole number.
