After two consecutive years of profits per equity partner dipping by high single digits, Weil, Gotshal & Manges is reporting a 16.5 percent upswing for 2014, with PPP climbing to $2.4 million from $2.065 million—a level not seen since 2011.
Increased demand for the firm’s services, combined with lower head count, also pushed revenue per lawyer up 9.1 percent, to $1.075 million from $985,000. Overall, the firm shrank by 85 lawyers, or 7.3 percent, to 1,072 from 1,157.
