Polsinelli saw solid revenue growth in 2016, but its profits per equity partner dropped more than 4 percent as a result of the Kansas City-based firm’s mass hire early in the year of 44 lawyers from intellectual property boutique Novak Druce Connolly Bove & Quigg.
With its overall lawyer count growing to 758 in 2016, a 5.3 percent increase over its 2015 head count, Polsinelli also saw its partnership expand by 7.4 percent as the firm added 28 nonequity partners and 3 equity partners. The expansion of its roster of lawyers came as Polsinelli posted mixed financial results in 2016.
