Prestige & Power: The Top 100 U.S. Law Firms Ranked by Attorneys Who’ve Been There

Key Insights from the Report

  • Market Advantage: Lawyers in major hubs like New York, San Francisco, and D.C. earn 30–50% more than peers in secondary markets.
  • Prestige vs. ROI: Top-ranked firms deliver high pay but often come with longer partnership tracks and higher buy-ins.
  • Diversity Gaps: Women account for just 28% of partners; underrepresented minorities, 10.2%.
  • Practice Area Impact: M&A and private equity offer high salaries, but Tax and Regulatory practices deliver more stable long-term returns.

Why It Matters
