Editor's Note: This chart details the profit per equity partner figures of the 100 largest law firms by gross revenue, meaning there is the potential for firms with higher PEP to not be on this list if they were not on the Global 100 by revenue. Total equity partners among this group fell by just over 3%. The average PEP among these 100 firms is $2.43 million, a 12.4% from the Global 100 for FY 2022. In some instances, where numbers were not provided by the firm, estimates were used.
