It was a relatively stagnant financial year for Winston & Strawn, where gross revenue bumped up half a percent in 2016, to $823 million, while net income fell nearly 1 percent from 2015.
The firm topped $1 million in revenue per lawyer for the second straight year, helped in part by continuing a trend of shrinking head count. Total lawyers fell to 798 from 808 a year ago. Profits per partner rose 1.1 percent in 2016, to nearly $1.83 million. The tepid results come after a strong 2015 that saw Winston & Strawn see increases in several key financial metrics.
