Following a flat revenue year in 2020, Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr turned more than a quarter-billion in top-line revenue into a 14.8% rise in profits per equity partner (PEP), which surpassed $800,000 for the first time in the firm's history.

Managing partner Jason St. John, who took over for Barry Levin earlier this year, attributed the firm's performance to a strong year across major practice areas combined with pandemic-era cost savings that carried over from 2020.
