For Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, 2010 wasn’t as much about recovery as it was about setting new financial benchmarks.

The firm’s average profits per equity partner rose an astounding 20.9 percent in 2010 to $2.31 million–it marks the first year that Gibson Dunn has surpassed the $2 million mark in PPP. That isn’t the only financial milestone achieved by the firm last year. Gross revenue increased nearly 7 percent to $1.062 billion, the first time ever that the firm has grossed more than a billion dollars.
