Willkie Farr & Gallagher saw its gross revenue rise 2.7 percent to $548 million and its profits per partner increase 2.6 percent to $2.15 million last year, according to The American Lawyer’s reporting. The firm’s revenue per lawyer, meanwhile, jumped a more robust 9.4 percent to $935,000.
Willkie cochair Steven Gartner said “strong” corporate and “steady” litigation work have contributed to the uptick. Last April, for example, Willkie represented Fiat SpA when the Italian car company agreed to pay $1.27 billion to increase its stake in Chrysler Group. The firm advised Fiat again in June, when the company bought the U.S. Treasury Department’s remaining 6 percent stake in Chrysler for $500 millon. Other big deals last year, said Gartner, included the firm’s representation of private equity fund PAI in its sale of Yoplait to General Mills for $1.15 billion in May.
