We at The American Lawyer have been reporting on law firm financials for more than 15 years. Through our annual Am Law 100 survey, the next installment of which comes out in May, we utilize a slew of metrics to provide a detailed economic health-check of North America’s 100 largest firms by revenue. Profit margins, revenue per lawyer, net income, profit per partner. . . . It’s enough to make you never want to see an Excel spreadsheet again.
But one area we haven’t tackled-thus far, at least-is how much each firm is worth. Indeed, law firm valuation is a relatively new phenomenon. In the past, the industry has largely been geared towards delivering short-term profit gains and maximizing partner compensation. Little thought was given to the inherent value of law firms as businesses.
