A year that started with a lot of uncertainty ended about the same as the prior year for Alston & Bird. The firm’s revenue and profit were flat. Profit per equity partner slid from $914,570 to $910,197, and the firm added a single equity partner. Like other firms, Alston laid off associates and staff and cut pay in response to slow real estate and deal work. Earlier this year the firm chose real estate developer Daniel Corp. to explore the feasibility of anchoring a new Midtown office tower. Alston’s leases at One Atlantic Center and One Midtown Plaza expire in October 2012.
