We’re elated to present the 2019 NLJ 500, our annual report ranking the nation’s largest 500 U.S.-centric law firms. We break out law firm data for total attorneys and partners, and highlight the firms that are moving the needle on the recruitment and retention of women lawyers.

What are the big takeaways? This year, the number of lawyers working at NLJ 500 law firms in 2018 increased by 2.5% to 169,477. Average firm size rose by eight lawyers last year to 339. And nonequity partnerships picked up, showing a 3.8% uptick in 2018.
