Here are the top 10 companies in the second hundred, that is, the companies ranked from 101st to 110th place in terms of gross sales. The full list can be found in the American Lawyer. After its first entry into the Am Law 200 last year, FisherBroyles saw the largest year-over-year increase in the list of law firms included in the Am Law 200 2021 list, recording revenue growth of 29.3% with consolidated fee revenue for 2021 of $136 million. The company also increased its headcount by 18.5%. The other companies on the list are well-known names. Irell is still a profitable company and, despite some notable partner departures in recent years, it seems that its strategy of focusing on high-end intellectual property and commercial litigation is paying off. It increased its PPEP by nearly 25% in 2020 — and 2021 could be even better given that the company won a $2.2 billion patent prize against Intel in March on behalf of its customer VLSI Technology LLC.

I was surprised at the magnitude of the difference between Am Law 100 and Second Century. The total income of the Am 100 law is more than five times the total income of the second hundred. The average turnover per lawyer in an Am Law 100 law firm is almost 50% higher than the LPR in a second law firm. And earnings per partner in an Am Law 100 firm are 2.5 times higher than in a second firm. In the end, the Paycheque Protection Program loans reflected the philosophy of the companies more than their finances. “We are particularly proud of this year`s ranking because of the quality of our growth. Our headcount has actually grown more slowly than in 2020, but our revenue has grown much faster than our partners` growth rate. This means not only that the network effect of our ecosystem further increases our size, but also that our Law Firm 2.0 model has been instrumental in increasing the revenues and profits generated by our current partners.
The geographic expansion caused by the pandemic could spur the growth of those considering the Am 200 law in the coming years. But one interesting thing that can make it harder to generalize about the Second Cent is that they are a much more diverse group than the Am 100 Law: These numbers are excellent, much higher than last year`s numbers for the Second Cent — gains of 1.1, 3.0 and 8.8%, respectively. But compare them to the increases in the Am Law 100 in 2021: “We are pleased to be placed in the prestigious Am Law 200 for the second year in a row, especially with the strongest revenue growth. The ranking and milestone confirm our business model, our strategy and the resulting strong organic growth. We look forward to growing globally and moving to the Am Law 200 ranking. Meet the latest firms at Am Law 200 – and get a glimpse of each other`s performance in the Second Hundred in 2020. A look at the numbers that defined the year in the legal industry – in visual form. One company went from Bill 100 to Bill 200: Boies Schiller, which went from 93rd to 130th place. This was not a shock as the Am Law 200 ranking is based on revenue and BSF lost a lot of revenue when it lost a lot of stock exchange partners last year.
However, it`s worth noting that Boies increased its revenue per lawyer by a respectable 4.6% to $1.412 million in 2020, and the PPEP, while down significantly, was still $2.3 million. When it comes to performance in 2021, BSF arrived this year with something to look forward to: the costs of its work on the $2.7 billion settlement in the Blue Cross Blue Shield antitrust dispute.
