How We Report Law Firm Financials: The Am Law 100 is reported by ALM publications throughout the United States, including The American Lawyer, the Connecticut Law Tribune, the Daily Business Review (Miami), the Daily Report (Atlanta), The Legal Intelligencer (Philadelphia), The National Law Journal, the New Jersey Law Journal, The New York Law Journal, The Recorder (San Francisco) and Texas Lawyer. Most law firms provide their financials voluntarily for this report. Some choose not to cooperate, so we make estimates based on our reporting. All data is investigated by our reporters.

If we discover we made an error in reporting a previous year’s financials, we correct the numbers and base the percentage changes in future years on restated numbers.
