Seyfarth Shaw posted solid financial results across the board in 2012, with gross revenue increasing 7.4 percent, to $520 million, profits per partner jumping 11.7 percent, to $910,000, and revenue per lawyer rising 4.5 percent, to $690,000, according to The American Lawyer‘s reporting.
“It was an extraordinarily good year with revenue and profits being up,” says Seyfarth managing partner J. Stephen Poor, who points to demand for the firm’s labor and employment and real estate practices as especially robust in 2012. Poor adds that the firm continues to benefit from its use of a Six Sigma–type program known as SeyfarthLean that he says has helped it “bring innovation to pricing mechanisms, process mapping, and other aspects of service delivery.”
