Legal Week Ranking

Law.com International`s annual ranking of the UK`s top 50 commercial law firms The comprehensive ranking of the UK`s top 50 law firms for the 2019-2020 financial year shows that Brexit and coronavirus negotiations have contributed to a drop in revenues and PEP growth rates. The UK Top 100 is Legal Week`s annual ranking of the UK`s largest companies by turnover. Colorado firms have announced Chambers USA`s 2022 law firm and law firm rankings.

DLA Piper tops a new ranking of the UK`s largest law firms in terms of turnover, which takes into account revenue generated in UK and international profit centres during the years 2010-11. The firm`s total turnover of £1.268 billion against a global profit per partner (PEP) of £735,000 means it tops Legal Week`s new ranking, which includes the full global turnover of UK law firms operating through both Swiss association structures such as DLA and formal alliances such as Eversheds International and CMS Cameron McKenna. The following announcements regarding their inclusion in the Chambers USA 2022 rankings have been sent to Law Week. We have received announcements that more than 120 local lawyers have been named to Chambers USA this year. The legal sector is no exception, as it must adapt as much as possible to the rapidly changing situation, with employment, litigation and bankruptcies proving to be significant areas of change. With regard to the former, the government has introduced measures to prevent employers from firing employees without good reason, which have been combined with financial support for workers and subsidies to cover wage costs.

The suspension of all judicial activities for at least 6 months (many of which have not yet been fully reopened) has naturally affected all areas of practice with a contentious aspect. As the litigation pause eases and courts gradually reopen their doors (literally or virtually), the focus is increasingly on bankruptcy, restructuring, and insolvency, with many companies rethinking their strategies and finances in light of the impact of the pandemic. Polsinelli announced that the firm`s corporate mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, general commercial litigation, real estate and construction practices received government and legal rankings from Chambers USA this year. Polsinelli also announced that Colorado lawyers were classified in the labor and employment and financial services sectors, while the Department of Health received an elite ranking nationally. Chambers USA is the leading legal directory according to the organization`s website, and its rankings are based on extensive market analysis and independent research conducted by a dedicated team. This final ranking of UK law firms includes: * Turnover * Change in turnover * Average PEP * Total number of partners * Change in total number of partners * Total participating partners * Change in total participating partners. National and regional companies produced the most movement in the top 50 this year, with a number of practices experiencing significant fluctuations in sales and profits. The big five national companies – DLA Piper, Eversheds, Pinsent Masons, Addleshaw Goddard and Hammonds – remained static on their positions in the ranking in 2008-09 after experiencing a slight decline in sales. DLA Piper maintained its position as the UK`s leading law firm in terms of international turnover, according to Legal Week`s global rankings. ALM`s surveys, rankings and data are an essential resource for knowledge managers, business management and anyone who wants to better understand the legal market, the companies that make it up, and the issues and challenges that are endemic to both. Gateley first entered the UK Top 50 in 2010-11, supported by the acquisition of Halliwells` Manchester business practice last year. One of only two new entrants in this year`s top 50 alongside Reynolds Porter Chamberlain, the Birmingham/Edinburgh-based company saw a 23% increase in revenue – the biggest percentage increase of any top 50 companies in 2010-11 – with expense revenue rising from £51.2m to £63mn.

The number of lawyers has not yet declined despite a series of unprecedented job cuts in the top 50, with expansion in some companies offsetting declining headcount in others.
