The A-List formula provides a collective measurement of the most successful and committed firms in the United States. Data fields include:

  • Firm Name and Location
  • Overall A-List Score
  • Revenue Per Lawyer Score and Rank

Methodology/Sources:
To be named of the 20 firms on the prestigious A-List, The American Lawyer starts with the rankings from four different surveys that rated firms' performances for the previous fiscal year. Firm rankings are converted to points by inverting the score. The values are then weighted to find the overall scores. The following are the four components of The A-List: Revenue per Lawyer, Pro Bono, Associate Satisfaction, and Diversity.

The true A-List consists of the first 20 ranked firms as published in The American Lawyer. Entire list comprises 200 firms and is available in the ALM Legal Intelligence database, however firms 21-200 are listed as relative ranking and shown for illustrative purposes only.
