In Asia, the largest law firms are getting even larger. Thanks to global mergers and local marketconsolidation, the gap between bigger and smaller law firms in Asia last year widened by 13.6 percent from a year earlier. It’s almost 400 percent larger than it was six years ago, the first year we collected data for our annual Asia 50 lawyer head count survey.
Unsurprisingly, leading our list of largest Asian firms is global giant Dentons with a worldwide head count of 7,445, up 13.5 percent year-on-year. Six years ago Dentons, then Dacheng Law Offices, also led our very first Asia 50 list, but with only 2,027 lawyers. Meanwhile, the smallest firm of today’s Asia 50, India’s Luthra & Luthra Law Offices, had 301 lawyers, 19 more than the head count at last year’s No. 50, China’s East & Concord Partners.
