| BACK TO LIST $190.00Survey Name: NYLJ 100 New York Law Journal's survey of the largest firms in New York
including number of lawyers, equity partners, associates, and branch offices.
|
| Methodology/Sources: |
The NYLJ 100 ranks the 100 largest private law offices in the
state of New York. (Attorney numbers for public law offices, such as those of the
Corporation Counsel, Attorney General and U.S. and District Attorney are listed in
separate charts.) Every private law office in the state is considered, irrespective
of where the firm is headquartered or whether it claims a home office. Non-U.S.-based
law firms are considered equally with domestic U.S. firms; the sole criterion for
inclusion in the NYLJ 100 is the size of a firm's New York state office.
Law offices are ranked by the total number of permanent, full-time-equivalent
attorneys (partners plus associates plus "other attorneys"—staff attorneys, of
counsel, etc.); where a firm has more than one office in New York state, the largest
is the one that is ranked. Where a firm has two New York state offices of equal size,
the office designated by the firm is listed as the ranking office. In the case of a
tie between or among firms, they are ranked equally but listed alphabetically.
The NYLJ 100 is prepared from two primary sources: data obtained through the NLJ 250
survey of The National Law Journal, an affiliate of the New York Law Journal Magazine,
and the New York Law Journal's own NYLJ 100 survey. All data are average full-time
equivalent numbers for the period from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31 of the previous year,
unless noted otherwise. Lawyer counts do not include contract or temporary attorneys.
Because attorney numbers are submitted in full-time equivalent terms, in some cases,
due to rounding, numbers are slightly higher or lower than the figures submitted by
the firms. Additionally, minor discrepancies between the total number of attorneys at
a firm and the total number reported in branch offices are due to rounding. A zero
indicates that less than one full-time attorney works in that city. If the New York
Law Journal Magazine received corrected or updated numbers from any firm surveyed by
the National Law Journal, the corrected or updated numbers are used here.
Data from additional years may be available in our archives. Please contact customer
service for more information.
