If 2023 was a rebound year for White & Case, 2024 became a “breakthrough year,” the firm said. White & Case’s revenue rose by 12.5% to $3.32 billion last year, and as the equity partner tier contracted further, profits per partner surged by 27% to cross the $4 million mark for the first time ever. Net income for equity partners popped up by 17% to $1.398 billion.
The firm’s revenue per lawyer jumped nearly 11% to $1.28 million amid a 1.5% increase in total lawyer head count.
