Dorsey & Whitney saw its profits drop for the fifth straight year in 2012 amid a slight decline in gross revenue, according to The American Lawyer‘s reporting.

Minneapolis-based Dorsey’s profits slid 8 percent last year to $515,000, their lowest mark since 2006. While the firm’s gross revenue was down a more modest 3.1 percent, to $313.5 million, the falloff nonetheless erased the slight topline gains Dorsey enjoyed in 2011. At $605,000, the firm’s revenue per lawyer was essentially flat.
