Even with a flat head count, Morris, Manning & Martin billed about 10,000 more hours in 2010 than a year earlier. Commercial real estate, typically one of the firm’s major practice focuses, edged into a recovery, fueling Morris Manning’s handling of matters for real estate clients in 39 states. Louise M. Wells, who just completed her first year as managing partner, called 2010—and the nearly 12 percent boost it gave profit—“magnificent.”
