Coming off a strong performance in 2015, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati posted more mixed financial results in 2016. Gross revenue at the Palo Alto, California-based firm rose 2.7 percent to $755 million, while revenue per lawyer (RPL) dipped 4.7 percent to $1,005,000. And after a 22.6 percent leap in 2015, Wilson Sonsini’s profits per partner (PPP) dropped 11.1 percent to $1.97 million.
However, managing partner Doug Clark said the firm saw strong activity across all its practice areas in 2016. He attributed the decline in RPL to head count growth: The firm added 52 lawyers, an expansion of 7.5 percent. It also opened a new office in Boston with three partners, including new hire Mark Solakian, the former general counsel of the biofuels company Joule Unlimited Technologies Inc.
