The Firm: The last year has been a big one for Philadelphia-based Fox Rothschild. Not only did the firm make its way to the Am Law 100 ranks for the first time last year, stepping in at No. 95 after a Second Hundred finish of 105 the year prior, it also completed on Jan. 4 what the firm views as its “most significant” merger, absorbing 82-lawyer Minneapolis firm Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly.
With the Oppenheimer deal done, Fox Rothschild has grown to more than 700 lawyers in more than 20 offices across the U.S. According to the most recent Am Law 100 numbers, Fox Rothschild saw gross revenue rise 10.1 percent in 2014, to $331.5 million, while profits per partner increased slightly, to $640,000. (Fox Rothschild’s current fiscal year closes in March.)
