One year after becoming the first law firm ever to crack the $3 billion revenue mark, Latham & Watkins in 2018 had its strongest financial performance in nearly half a decade.
The world's second-largest firm by revenue last year, Latham saw revenue in 2018 spike 10.5 percent to a new high of $3.386 billion, according to preliminary reporting for The American Lawyer's annual Am Law 100 rankings. Profits per equity partner rose 6.4 percent to $3.45 million, and revenue per lawyer increased 6 percent to $1.33 million.
Each of those yearly growth rates was the highest the firm has experienced since 2013 to 2014, according to historical ALM data.
