Blank Rome’s gross revenue fell 2.6 percent to $320.5 million in 2013 while other key metrics rose as overall headcount fell and the equity partner tier was cut by 16.4 percent.

Last year marked the end of a program to “rightsize” the firm in an effort to deal with “excess capacity,” firm Chairman Alan J. Hoffman said. Rightsizing has been a priority for the firm for the past five years, but Blank Rome has made a concerted effort to trim ranks during the past two to three years, Hoffman said.
