elcome to the 17th annual PaLAW:

Annual Report on the Legal Profes-

sion. Last year in this space I spoke

about the changes that had been made tothe publication, our methods of collecting

data, and the rankings in our list of 100 Larg-

est Law Firms in PA.

As before, we have continued to hone bothour data collection processes and the way

we deliver the data to you. PaLAW also has a

fresh new look, but the biggest changes are

in what the information inside tells us.This has been a year of recovery. Layoffs

and pay cuts seem to be receding into the

rearview mirror, but we are left with a new

landscape, and rms are forced to nd theirown ways of navigating it. One glance at our

100 Largest Law Firms chart reveals one im-

portant change: the biggest rms are smallerthan ever.

The “big three” have ip-opped again,with Reed Smith taking over the top slot

from Pepper Hamilton, and once again the

numbers are down from last year. Whereas

in 2009 Pepper topped the list with 331 full-time attorneys, this year Reed Smith has tak-

en over, with only 323. Pepper is now down to

302, and Morgan Lewis & Bockius, occupying

the third-place spot for the second year in arow, has 299.

Last year, in the wake of layoffs and later-

als, we also saw just two rms with over 300

PA-based attorneys, but to get to similar lev-els again, you have to go back to 2005. With

rms still reeling from the recession, it will

be interesting to see if and when they start

climbing the 300+ ladder.The changes continue to be reected in

our editorial content, as well. In addition to

our 15th annual Managing Partners Survey,

the results of which can be found on page44, we’ve also invited Altman Weil principal

consultant Tom Clay to give us his take on

what lies ahead for the profession. We were

excited that he did not shy away from telling

the hard, honest truth. To read Tom’s insight-ful piece, turn to page 92.

Additionally, we have overhauled our Firm

Financials section, consolidating multiple re-ports into one longer piece, with the charts

accompanying the data for each rm.

While change is something we’ve all had

to adapt to in the last couple of years — andas Tom says in his article, the changes are

far from over — comfort may be found in what

has not changed: our commitment to deliver-

ing comprehensive, insightful data to serve

as a resource for you all year. This includes

information on public law rms, corporatelaw departments and legal public interest

groups based in the commonwealth, as well

as county, state, national and law school sta-

tistics that we update for you each year.You’ll also still nd the list of the year’s 50

largest verdicts and settlements, as well as

the year’s most-requested opinions, accord-

ing to information gathered from The Legal

Intelligencer.Finally, one of the most noticeable chang-

es, both for us and for you readers, is that

we have a new Art Director who complete-

ly revamped the style and structure of themagazine. Karen Leddy spent many hours

redesigning the tables, charts and graphics

that color these pages with great care, andwe hope you enjoy the fruits of her labor asmuch as we do.

Director of Information Technology Brian

Harris generated the surveys and then com-

piled all the data we received. Reporter ZackNeedles compressed a handful of nancial

reports into a single comprehensive piece.

Wonder-intern Fiona McCrone helped gather

information over the phone and online, as-sisted with data entry and generally helped

us ll in the blanks.

And of course, last but far from least,

senior staff reporter Gina Passarella againserved as my right hand and better half,

helping with just about every aspect of pro-

duction from start to nish, from reviewing

the surveys to proofreading pages, as well aswriting the story on page 44 analyzing the

results of the Managing Partners Survey.

With these changes, we have tried to shift

the purpose of this magazine slightly. Ofcourse, the data we print is a snapshot of the

past — even as we go to print the information

is changing. But we also hope to make this

publication a tool for looking forward. Theysay hindsight is 20-20, and with any luck, you

will take what you see before you now andkeep it in mind as you not only navigate this

new legal landscape, but build upon it.

In 2009, 80 percent of respondents

said they were able to increase gross rev-

enue over the prior year, whereas only

46.2 percent said they were able to do so

in their latest scal year. And while only 10

percent saw a reduction in revenues last

year, 34.6 percent said they did this year.

When it comes to revenue per lawyer

(RPL), 44.4 percent of respondents saw

an increase, down from the 74.2 percent

who said last year that they saw RPL rise

year over year. Nearly 26 percent saw a

decline in RPL this year, compared to 6.5

percent last year, and 29.6 percent said

RPL stayed the same.

Gina Passarellathe Legal Staff

he results from the 2010 Managing

Partners Survey largely mirror what

media reports have shown over the

year: layoffs have subsided, younger

ociates are being hired in signicantly

ller numbers, if at all, contract attor-

s are taking their place and the num-

of rms that saw increases in eithernue or prots in the last year shrunk

stantially.

ut perhaps the most interesting nd-

from the survey is one that seems to

against the grain. When asked what

ons they took to retain protability

ls between June 2009 and June 2010,

2 percent of respondents said they in-

sed billing rates, up from 38 percent

year who said the same. And that was

ar the biggest choice for controlling

tability, followed by the 48 percent of

ondents who said they reduced entry-

l hiring.

hat comes as a bit of a surprise in a

ate where clients are looking for non-

hourly fee arrangements and reductions

in costs. With the reportedly wide use of

discounting billable hours, the rate in-

creases may just be a way to get rates at

a high enough point that law rms don’t

lose money when discounting them.

Results of the survey show that fewer

clients are paying bills without a hassle,while many more are asking questions.

When asked about how clients reacted to

bills in the last year, 76.9 percent of re-

spondents said clients sometimes ask for

reductions, which was up from 64.3 per-

cent who said so last year. On the other

hand, only 19.2 percent said clients paid

without much hassle, down from 32.1 per-

cent who were able to say that in 2009.

Fewer than 4 percent of respondents both

this year and last year said clients always

demand discounts.

The only other methods of maintaining

protability rms used more frequently

this year as compared to last were reduc-

ing lateral hiring, reducing entry-level hir-

ing and reducing marketing costs. Nearly

39 percent of respondents said they re-

duced marketing costs and 34.8 percent

cut lateral hiring.

Layoffs, de-equitizations, reductions in

compensation and deferrals were all used

less frequently than they were last year.

And despite a prediction from consultants

that equity partners would be next on the

chopping block now that associates and

non-equity partners were let go, fewer

rms anticipate de-equitizing partners

in the coming year. While 21.4 percent of

respondents said they planned to de-eq-

uitize partners between 2009 and 2010,

only 8 percent said they planned to do so

between 2010 and 2011.

Though the 29 respondents to thisyear’s survey only offer a snapshot into

the world of law rm management, the

responses give a good idea of what is hap-

pening in Pennsylvania law rms. The bulk

of respondents have more than 125 lawyers.

For all of their efforts, more rms were

less successful in growing their revenue

and prots. The majority of rms saw a de-

crease in gross revenue, which largely mir-

rors what happened nationally among Am

Law 200 rms. But while many Am Law

200 rms were able to increase prots

due to a number of cost-cutting measures,

fewer of the Pennsylvania respondents to

the Managing Partners Survey were able

to do so.

While there was an even split at 33.3

ent last year between those who saw

s increase, decrease or stay the same,

year saw 80 percent of respondents

had costs rise, 10 percent who saw

easing costs and 10 percent who had

erhaps in response to all of the cost-

ing rms underwent, the bulk of rms

5.6 percent saw net prots rise this

, but that is down from the 67.7 percent

who were able to say the same last year.

In terms of prots per equity partner (PPP),

only 37 percent of rms saw an increase in

that metric, which is down from 64.5 per-

cent the prior year. Of the remaining rms,

29.6 percent saw a decrease in PPP and

33.3 percent had PPP stay the same.

WHO’S GETTING HIRED?When it comes to growth in headcount,

the bulk of rms, or 77.7 percent, stayed

the same size in the past year or grew less

than 10 percent. More than 69 percent of

respondents said they expect to grow less

than 10 percent in the coming year, while

19.2 percent said they expect to stay the

same size. That is about the same as last

year’s predictions, though ultimately the

predictions didn’t bear out.

It comes as no surprise that associates

weren’t hired in nearly the same numbers

as they had been in the past. The bulk of re-

PaLAW 2010

Nearly 26 percent of rms said they cut

staff between June 2009 and June 2010,

though that is down from the 33 percent

who said in 2009 that they had cut staff

in the prior year. Legal secretaries were

the biggest target, with 85.7 percent of

respondents who cut staff saying that

group was affected. While 96.6 percent

of respondents said in 2009 that they

didn’t expect to lay off staff in the coming

year, only 88.5 percent could say the same

this year.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTSMore rms are planning on opening new

ofces in the coming year, with 20 percent

of respondents saying they intended to do

so, up from 7.1 percent last year.Consultants continually preach the ben-

ets of rms conducting client satisfac-

tion surveys, but law rms don’t seem to

be chomping at the bit on this one. Of the

respondents, 81.5 percent said they still do

not regularly use client satisfaction surveys.

That is up from the 64.5 percent last year

who said they didn’t conduct the surveys.

For all the talk of alternative fee ar-

rangements, clients still seem to prefer

hourly billing. More than 65 percent of

managing partners said their clients still

want hourly billing, and that was up from

53.8 percent last year. While 42.3 percent

said in 2009 that clients were eager to

hear about creative billing strategies, only

23 percent said the same this year.

“[Clients] often say they want to ex-

plore creative fee proposals, but more

often [they] just want a discount,” one re-

spondent wrote in.

When it comes to the most effective

marketing tools, the bulk of respondents

again ranked the rm’s website as the bestmarketing tool. Entertaining and social

events fell down the list in importance.

Most rms, with full support from the

American Bar Association, are moving

away from mandatory retirement policies.

But in Pennsylvania, 44 percent of respon-

dents said they had such a policy, which

is up from the 33.3 percent who said so

last year.

Fewer rms are providing leadership

and business development training, which

is perhaps a function of a bad economy

and rms wanting to cut costs. When it

comes to leadership training, 55.6 percent

of rms said they provide it at some level,

which is down from 67.7 percent last year.

he fact that some rms reinstituted

eferring associates seems to be less

vogue this year. Of the respondents

ent deferred their start dates, down

m 26.3 percent who did so in 2009.

ontract attorneys have been used with

eased frequency both in law depart-

ts and law rms in the past year.e the bulk of Pennsylvania rms — 58.1

ent according to the survey — are still

hiring contract attorneys, those who

e are hiring more. When asked if they

d more contract attorneys in the past

, 54.5 percent said they had, which

up from 38.5 percent who said the

e in 2009.

ennsylvania rms seem to be going

nst the trend of using staff attorneys,

ch, unlike contract attorneys who work

ect-to-project, are utilized as a normal

ner-track associates but have no ex-

ation of partnership, are paid less and

n work fewer hours.

early 70.5 percent of respondents said

they had no non-partner track or staff-

associate tier, up from 61.3 percent who

didn’t have one in 2009. That may just be

a function of the size of rms responding

to the survey, but it does go against what

many large rms are doing in an effort to

combat client unwillingness to pay high

rates for junior associates.

And when rms who didn’t have a staff

attorney tier were asked if they planned

on creating one in the coming year, only

10.5 percent said yes.

LAYING OFF LAYOFFSFrom the responses to the survey, it would

seem layoffs have greatly subsided both in

terms of the past year and what can be ex-

pected for the coming year. More than 85

percent of the respondents said they did

not lay off any attorneys between June

2009 and June 2010. That is up from 73.3

percent who were able to say the same last

year. And when it comes to layoffs in the

next year, 96.3 percent of rms said they

would not conduct any attorney layoffs,

up from the 93.3 percent who predicted

that in 2009.

These responses are in line with what is

happening nationally as reports of layoffs

have slowed to a near stop.

Staff hasn’t been quite as lucky in Penn-

sylvania, however.

PaLAW 2010

Analysis: The Future of the Professioreducing costs even more signicantly. New

strategies will be needed to improve — or

even maintain — protability.

This may seem harsh, but gone are the

days when law rms could raise billing

rates each year at twice the rate of ina-

tion or more. That is what allowed law rms

to make increased prots year on year and

it simply is not going to be possible any

longer. Firms also are not going to be able

to make large prots on inefcient work.

Even if volume returns, the prot levels and

margins will not be the same as in the past.

These two things will force law rms to re-

duce overhead costs even more.

By way of example, I recently told a fairly

large law rm that they ought to increase

their lawyer to assistant/secretary ratios

from three to one to eight to one. Most

people in the room were aghast. One law-

yer asked, “How will we get our ling and

copying done?” My response was, “Why are

you still ling and copying on paper?” New

thinking at every level is required if prog-

ress is to be made.

At the end of the day, law rms that have

underlying costs of $150,000 to $250,000

per lawyer will not be able to sustain prof-

itability. Signicant improvements in over-

head cost reduction will be needed over

the next ve years and strategies for imple-

mentation need to start now.

The pace in this area is compelling.

Some rms have begun the transition while

others appear to be simply happy that they

made it through the recession, generally in-

tact. I believe that the latter will prove to be

an unfortunate mindset.

Alternative Fees

Alternative fee arrangements have been

around for decades. The percentage in-

crease in their use has been more signi-

cant in the last ve years than in the previ-ous 25 years. The trend is here to stay. It

is not going away. The issue for rms of all

sizes to determine is what does it mean to

them and their particular clients and what

is the appropriate pace of the change in

their circumstances.

I have spent the last 18 months helping

rms determine how to most effectively

conceptualize and install the use of alterna-

tive fees. Several truisms have emerged:

Clients are not monolithic in their think-

ing and are unlikely to become so. The bill-

able hour is not dead and will remain vibrant

for at least the next ve years. Some clients

like hourly billing and will control costs by

controlling outside counsel rates.

There is a cadre of clients that are totally

dedicated to moving quickly to alternative

fees. Meeting their challenge is a must for

any rm dealing with those clients.

Every rm should gain experience in the

area of alternative fees whether they intend

to use them as a competitive advantage

or simply want to be ready to offer them.

When clients ask about alternative pricing,

there isn’t time to say, “Let me think about

it and get back to you.”

What is the pace here? It is totally con-

tingent on individual clients.

I recommend that rms or practice

groups take some number of clients, per-

haps the top 50, and speak with them about

their interest in the use of alternative fees.

We have developed a methodology that

allows rms to rate their clients’ interest

from high to low and plot the results on a

continuum line. Once a rm has done this,

it is easy to see where it needs to focus its

energies, what the level of urgency is for

that group of clients or if the rm may have

more time to deal with the issue.

The point is rms should not fall prey to

hyperbolic rants about moving to alterna-

tive fees. Do your homework, talk with cli-

ents and then develop a rational strategy

based upon the hard facts.

It is important that all rms are edu-

cating themselves on this issue and tak-

ing the pulse of their clients on a regular

basis. Some rms will need to develop this

capability quickly. But for most rms there

is probably time to proceed at a measured

pace and “do it right.”

Partnership

The nal dynamic with which law rms will

struggle has, in most instances, emerged

quietly. Chronically underproductive part-

ners (as measured by a rm’s individual cri-

teria) are nding it increasingly difcult to

remain in such a position. In the “good old

days” of extraordinary protability, many

of these partners were able to skate along

because there was simply enough money

to go around. Now, as man

The Rock Center for Corpo-

rate Governance at Stan-

ford University recently is-

sued a report on the future

of law rms in the new

economy called “Big But

le: Economic Perspectives on the Future

he Law Firm in the New Economy.” It

cluded with these words: “We must ac-

wledge and respect the forces that cre-

[current market dynamics], and fashion

edies that swim with the tide of eco-

ic change rather than rail against it.”

he forces referred to by the authors are

e that are exerting an inexorable pres-

on the profession to change. I agree

this takeaway, which is, essentially:

with it.

aw rms of all sizes cannot escape the

sures for change and therefore must

age in new thinking and new approaches

emain viable, stable and competitive.

his magazine contains the results of

AW ’s annual survey of managing part-

, which reects rm leaders’ think-

regarding the dynamics and pressures

are affecting Pennsylvania law rms

010. That survey provides a breadth of

rmation on the changing profession. In

work with law rms and my collabora-

with colleagues who work for corporate

l departments, I see several of these is-

s rising to the top as areas where law

s will need to focus their transition ef-

s over the next decade.lthough the need for change seems

e clear, the pace that is required to ef-

vely deal with various pressures is un-

r. For example, must a rm move to al-

ative fee arrangements within the next

years or suffer irreparable competitive

dvantage? I think not.

ust a rm immediately move away

m hiring rst-year lawyers right out of

school because they appear to have

decreasing value, at least to major corpo-

rate purchasers? Of course not.

But these forces are in motion and they

are accelerating partly as a result of the

recession. We don’t know exactly how fast

rms must change — and that is vexing.

However, it is always better to look forward,

anticipate the changes that must eventual-

ly occur and begin to deal with them before

they create a crisis. In fact many rms are

beginning to see these issues as opportuni-

ties to establish competitive advantage.

A More Efcient Service Delivery Model

A commonly voiced opinion these days is

that law rms need to change their busi-

ness model. I might agree that the model

for rendering legal services needs signi-

cant consideration and perhaps even an

overhaul, but it isn’t required in every sec-

tor nor must it happen immediately.

What is required is for every law rm to

examine the way it serves clients and ask

the difcult question: “Can we do this more

efciently?” In almost all instances the an-

swer will undoubtedly be “Yes,” and, not-

withstanding a reluctance to change, the

next question should be “How?”

The PaLAW Managing Partners Survey

clearly shows that rms are struggling with

questions of whether to hire new associ-

ates, whether to make robust use of con-

tract and other non-traditional lawyers and

how to use technology to counteract some

of the forces of commoditization.When viewed in light of law rms’ need to

maintain protability levels, it is an inescap-

able conclusion that reducing professional

labor costs, probably signicantly over the

next ve years, is necessary. This includes

assuring that work that is deemed to be

routine and increasingly less valuable to cli-

ents is done at the lowest competent level

at the lowest price the market will bear.

To emphasize this point, I relate a con-

versation that I had with U.S. law school

deans when making a presentation at their

annual roundtable earlier this year. I said

that law schools were increasingly produc-

ing a product with less market value. You

can imagine the reaction I got to that.

However, I cited the growing number of

corporate purchasers who are not allowing

certain lawyers, such as rst and second

years, to work on their matters, preferring

paraprofessionals do the work. Clients are

saying “If you won’t become more efcient,

we will force you into it with methods like

these.”

One dean asked how much a new associ-

ate is worth today. My response was that

in real terms, to do routine work, they may

be worth no more than a competent, expe-

rienced paraprofessional. And in fact that

dynamic is only likely to become stronger

as commoditization forces increasingly

take hold.

So what should law rms do? They must

deal with becoming more efcient now. It’s

not easy because it involves management

attention, personnel decisions, new meth-

ods of working, and new ways of thinking.

But the pursuit of efciency is never a bad

thing and is looked upon favorably in any

economic market.

My estimation of the pace of change in

this area is high. The curve is like to steep-

en signicantly over the next ve years.

Overhead Cost Reduction

In reviewing the PaLAW Managing Partners

Survey, as well as a number of other eco-

nomic studies, it’s clear that 2009 was a

year for law rms to cut costs. Major per-

sonnel cuts were made, with the largest

cuts in support staff, followed by reductions

in associate lawyers. Other overhead cuts

were made at unprecedented levels. This

was necessary triage to counteract the ef-fects of the recession in 2009. It also

“saved” many law rms in that they did not

have dramatic decreases in protability

and weathered the economic storm rela-

tively well.

However, I believe that too many rms

believe that the work is done. It is not. Law

rms are still too expensive to operate and

will need to take some very innovative, and

perhaps extremely difcult, approaches to

nalysis: The Future of the Profession

ncertain Transition:nticipating the Pace of Change



PaLAW 2010

The rm’s revenue dropped by more

than $100 million, or 12.6 percent, from

$815.9 million in 2008 to $713.1 million in

2009. Attorney headcount fell by a similar

margin of nearly 12 percent from 891 at-

torneys to 786 lawyers.

Firm Chairman Barton J. Winokur said

the biggest contributing factor to the rev-

enue drop-off was the decline of the rm’s

real estate nance practice. The practice

dropped from 13 percent of the rm’s rev-

enue in 2007 to about 7 percent in 2008.

While it didn’t have as much room to fall in

2009 and actually picked up a bit at the

end of the year, Winokur said it was the

one practice Dechert moved “quickly to

right size” because it knew the drought in

that work would last for some time.While Dechert conducted signicant

cost cutting measures, the rm saw a dip

in PPP from $2.14 million in 2008 to $1.96

million in 2009, a drop of almost 9 percent.

Dechert saw some dips in other nan-

cial metrics as well. The rm’s RPL fell less

than 1 percent from $915,000 to $908,000,

and the average compensation for all part-

ners dropped more than 7 percent from

$1.48 million to $1.37 million.

The rm was also forced to lay off more

than 175 staff and attorneys throughout the

course of the year, and it staggered its start

dates for incoming associates so that only

one-third of them actually started in 2009.

Along with cost reductions came some

investment. The rm opened an ofce in

Moscow last year and paid out bonuses for

2008, which came out of 2009 prots.

MORGAN LEWIS & BOCKIUSGross revenue at Philadelphia-based Mor-

gan Lewis & Bockius declined by nearly 5

percent to $1.07 billion from $1.12 billion in

2008. PPP dropped nearly 15 percent to

about $1.24 million. RPL fell 1.2 percent to

$810,000.

Morgan Lewis’ managing partner for

operations, Thomas Sharbaugh, told Legal

afliate The American Lawyer in February

that the rm “dodged the bullet” in 2008

by having its scal year end Sept. 30.

Sharbaugh told The Legal through a

spokeswoman in October that the dip in rev-

enue was really a timing issue that was not

likely to be repeated in 2010. He told The American Lawyer work picked up “signi-

cantly” in the last quarter of 2009, partic-

ularly in the investment and nance areas.

The American Lawyer also reported

that the rm’s head count shrank by near-

ly 4 percent, from 1,363 lawyers to 1,315.

Most of the losses were associates, the

magazine said, as the rm deferred its fall

2009 incoming class of 55 rst-year asso-

ciates until October 2010 and laid off about

55 lawyers, most of whom were associ-

ates, in March 2009.

The rm did, however, increase its num-

ber of partners by nearly 6 percent in

2009, according to the magazine.

Morgan Lewis also brought aboard 55

new lawyers in the 2009 scal year, nearly

double the number of lateral hires made in

2008, The American Lawyer reported. In

November 2008, it hired 20 transactional

energy lawyers from Thelen Reid and in

the summer of 2009, it took on 11 banking

and leveraged-nance lawyers, including

ve partners, from Bingham McCutchen,

as well as 13 health care regulatory law-

yers, eight of whom were partners, from

Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal.

REED SMITHA falloff in demand, a nearly 4 percent

reduction in headcount and a lower con-

version rate for overseas income led to a

3.8 percent dip in Pittsburgh-based Reed

Smith’s revenues for 2009.

ty partner (PPP) increased, revenue

m $618,000 in 2008 to $607,000 in

9. PPP increased by nearly 1 percent

m $854,000 to $861,000. The average

pensation for all partners decreased by

than 1 percent to $533,000 in 2009.

ttorney headcount grew by 9.9 per-

from 1,552 to 1,705. The equity

ner tier increased by 3.9 percent

m 284 to 295, but the rm still has one

of the smallest percentages of equity part-

ners, at 17.3 percent, when compared to

other Pennsylvania rms on the Am Law

100. The rm’s non-equity tier grew by

22.2 percent from 495 non-equity part-

ners in 2008 to 605 last year.

In order to manage expenses in 2009,

K&L Gates cut 36 associates and 79 staff

members and deferred its incoming classof rst-year associates from the fall to

January 2010. In addition to personnel

matters, the rm did a bottom-up a nalysis

of every process, system and expense

within the rm.

“Benchmark surveys always said we

were fairly conservatively managed in

terms of expense structure, but what we

found was a lot of unnecessary expenses

grow accretively over time unless they are

challenged with a really skeptical frame of

mind,” rm Chairman Peter Kalis said.

The rm eliminated layers of expense it

may have turned a blind eye toward a few

years ago, such as excess travel by lawyers

and staff, he said.

DECHERTPhiladelphia-based Dechert saw substan-

tial dips in gross revenue and headcount in2009, thanks in part to a slowdown in its

real estate nance department.

were deferred until January 2010, though

some started early. Blank Rome also closed

its Cherry Hill, N.J., ofce in 2009, moving

the lawyers to the Princeton location

where the rm has focused its New Jersey

efforts. Hoffman said the rm still had to

pay some rent for the Cherry Hill space

during parts of 2009.

The rm added 40 lateral hires in 2009,

but still reduced attorney headcount from

512 full-time equivalent attorneys to 490.

The equity partner tier decreased 3 percent

from 160 equity partners to 156 in 2009.

Non-equity partners fell from 110 to 109.

COZEN O’CONNORThe addition of nearly 90 laterals coupledwith a substantial contingency-fee payout

signicantly boosted Philadelphia-based

Cozen O’Connor’s revenues and prots

in 2009.

The rm saw a 22.6 percent increase in

gross revenue from about $237 million

in 2008 to $290.7 million in 2009. RPL in-

creased 10.6 percent from $520,000 to

$575,000, PPP grew 19.3 percent from

$545,000 in 2008 to $650,000 in 2009,

and the average compensation for all part-

ners increased by about 19 percent from

$400,000 to $475,000.

The rm said it increased its headcount

by 10.5 percent from 457 attorneys in

2008 to 505 lawyers in 2009. From 2006

through 2008, Cozen O’Connor’s head-

count dropped by 5.4 percent.

The equity partner tier rose 20.8 percent

to 145 equity partners and the non-equity

tier grew by 9 percent to 121 non-equity

partners in 2009.

Firm President Thomas A. “Tad” Decker

attributed the rm’s strong nancial per-

formance in 2009 to a diversity of prac-

tices, strong lateral recruitment and

growth in key markets, as well as a one-

time contingency fee payout.

Decker wouldn’t put a number on the

contingency fee but said the rm would

have seen a nearly 10 percent increase in

revenue without the payout. He said the

fee was paid by a number of clients in-

volved in one set of cases. Decker said he

knew the fee was coming in late summer,

but said he didn’t want to budget with the

case in mind. He did say, however, that the

fee made the rm a bit more comfortable

in adding so many laterals in 2009 — a ven-

ture Decker said the rm would have done

either way.

The rm was, however, forced to lay off

61 support staff, including six paralegals.

Decker had said the rm’s attorney-to-

staff ratios were “way out of whack.” Much

of that had to do with the rm shrinking in

overall headcount in the prior two years

and never rectifying the number of staff it

had. The rm had 458 full-time equivalent

attorneys in 2007 and 483 in 2006.

the rm was focused on cost manage-

t throughout the year and took steps

minimize costs. But he said there was a

time, large expense the rm had bud-

d and paid out in 2009 that caused

prots to fall. He wouldn’t elaborate on

t that expense was.

eideck said Pepper Hamilton didn’t

duct any mass layoffs of associates or

f. A hiring freeze was implemented at

end of 2008 for staff, and all associate

s have to be approved by Heideck. Sal-

s were frozen at the beginning of 2009

ajor change up or down. That tier in-

sed 10.7 percent from 65 non-equity

ease was because the rst-year asso-

es were deferred.

BLANK ROMEPhiladelphia-based Blank Rome increased

its revenue by 3 percent in 2009 and sig-

nicantly bumped up its partner prots

through a number of cost cutting mea-

sures.

The rm’s revenue grew despite a 4

percent drop in attorney headcount to

490 lawyers, thanks to what co-chairman

Alan J. Hoffman said was a strong year for

litigation, bankruptcy and even the rm’s

real estate practice.

Revenue grew from $312 million in 2008

to $322 million in 2009, with about one

quarter of that coming from alternative

fee arrangements. PPP increased about 13

percent from $590,000 to $665,000, and

RPL grew by more than 7 percent from

$610,000 to $655,000. The average com-

pensation for all partners increased by

10.5 percent from $475,000 to $525,000.

Real estate made up 10 percent of the

rm’s revenue in 2009, with Blank Rome

handling $3.1 billion in transactions exclu-

sive of nancings, the largest ofce deal

in the country and the second-largest re-

tail portfolio transaction for the year, the

rm said.

Firm Managing Partner Carl M. Buchholz

said the rm spent a lot of time in 2009

focused on client relationships as well as

communicating internally. That communi-

cation helped when the rm decided to

take $9 million out of rm prots that was

slated for equity and non-equity partners

in order to pre-pay some 2010 expenses.

The rm laid off 47 associates and 92

staff members across its ofces in 2009. Italso cut starting salaries by $15,000 and

reduced all associate salaries by between

personnel issues, there were a few reports

from late 2008 through 2009 that groups

of associates were let go. The rm gave of-

fers to about two-thirds of its 2009 sum-

mer associate class, which was fewer than

normal but more than many other law

rms did last year.

The rm decided to buck the deferral

trend in 2009 by bringing in its rst-year

associate class on time in the fall. To com-

bat a growing uneasiness from clients

about the usefulness of rst-year associ-

ates on their matters, Drinker Biddle ad-

opted a six-month training program in

which rst-years would not bill any time

but would instead focus on training.

Drinker Biddle’s headcount remained

relatively at last year, moving from 619full-time equivalent lawyers to 621 in 2009.

The equity partner tier fell slightly from

195 equity partners to 193 and the non-

equity tier gained one member, moving to

72 non-equity partners.

BUCHANAN INGERSOLL& ROONEYPhiladelphia-based Buchanan Ingersoll &

Rooney’s dip in revenue in 2009 was due

to cost pressures from clients and a lower

head count, but efciencies gained last

year helped bolster other nancial met-

rics, the rm’s CEO said.

The rm saw a 2.9 percent decrease in

gross revenue, from $272.8 million in 2008

to $264.9 million in 2009. It kept its prot

margin at at about 22.5 percent.

“There was a lot of pressure from cli-

ents to reduce their legal costs,” Chief Ex-

ecutive Ofcer John A. “Jack” Barbour

said. “Practically everyone said you can’t

pass through rate increases.”

While that doesn’t automatically result

in a drop in revenue, Barbour said, re-

straints on rates coupled with a near 10

percent decrease in head count led to the

3 percent dip in revenue.

In looking at the rm’s full-time

equivalent number of lawyers for the

entire scal year, Buchanan Ingersoll saw

a drop in head count of 9.9 percent, from

487 to 439. This is the second year in a

row head count has fallen, dropping 5

percent in 2008. The non-equity partner

ranks in 2009 stayed at at 95 non-equity

partners and the equity tier decreased

more than 7 percent, from 109 to 101

equity partners.

Although the rm saw a number of

high-level departures in 2008, the cuts in

2009 had more to do with productivity.

Barbour said internally the rm was fo-

cused on being more efcient and having

only productive lawyers stay on.

The rm’s equity partners were paid a

bigger share in 2009 than in 2008. The

PPP grew by 4.8 percent, from $563,000

to $590,000. RPL increased 5.3 percent,

from $565,000 in 2008 to $595,000 in

2009. The average compensation for all

partners grew 1.6 percent, from $430,000

to $437,000.

had said last year the rm hadn’t done

housecleaning in about 30 years.

allard Spahr deferred its 2009 rst-

associates by a full year to the fall of

0 and decided not to have a summer

ociate program this year. It will have a

mer program in 2011, though it will be

e conservative than in prior years,

adon said.

allard Spahr’s overall attorney head-

nt dropped more than 5 percent from

attorneys to 488 in 2009. The non-ty tier fell by 53 percent to 24 non-

ty partners, and the equity tier grew

6 percent to 202 equity partners.

ANE MORRISadelphia-based Duane Morris saw a

percent increase in gross revenue in

9 thanks to some timely contingency

payouts and an overall increase in bill-

hours for the year, the rm said.

ross revenue grew from $368 million

008 to $387.7 million in 2009, putting

rm back ahead of its 2007 revenue

ormance of $375 million.

lthough Chairman John J. Soroko said

ingency fees were secondary to bill-

hour improvement, he said the fees

ributed between $15 million and $20

on to the top line.

he rm has historically budgeted 4

ent to 5 percent of its billable time to

ingency matters and Soroko said be-

en 5 percent and 10 percent of the

’s revenues in 2009 came from contin-

cy and other types of alternative fee

ngements. Because the rm is familiar

handling such matters, he said, it is

rested in more alternative fee arrange-

ts, and sometimes its interest in them

eeds its clients’ interest.

oroko said the rm was closer to the

ble targets it set for 2009, with associ-

being “extremely busy” and partners

g busier than in 2008.

Though hours were up, RPL fell less

than 1 percent from $637,000 to $633,000.

PPP increased 3.6 percent from $727,000

to $753,000. The rm hit an all-time PPP

high in 2007 at $800,000. The average

compensation for all partners in 2009 was

$511,000, up more than 2 percent from

$499,000.

One of the biggest impacts on Duane

Morris’ nancials and headcount in 2009

was the acquisition of 53 lawyers from dis-

solved Wolf Block, including the labor and

employment practice and the Cherry Hill,

N.J., ofce.

Duane Morris’ headcount grew 6.1 per-

cent from 578 lawyers to 613 in 2009. The

equity partner tier increased nearly 8 per-

cent from 121 to 130 and the non-equitypartner ranks grew 15.7 percent from 191

to 221.

DRINKER BIDDLE & REATHPhiladelphia-based Drinker Biddle & Reath

saw small dips in its gross revenue and RPL

in 2009 while holding partner prots steady.

Revenue dropped 2.3 percent from

$382 million in 2008 to $373 million in

2009. RPL fell by about the same percent-

age from $615,000 to $600,000 and PPP

remained at at about $605,000 year

over year. The average compensation for

all partners grew by more than 3 percent

to nearly $538,000.

Firm Executive Partner Andrew C. Kass-

ner looked at the revenue drop in a posi-

tive light, saying the rm didn’t lose much

of the gains it made in 2008 despite

weathering a two-year recession and

avoiding a lot of the mass layoffs and de-

ferrals other rms condu cted last year.

most of the cost-cutting measures under-

taken at many Am Law 200 rms.

The rm, with a scal year end of March

31, grew gross revenue 7 percent from

nearly $203 million in 2008 to about $217

million in 2009. Net prots jumped 15 per-

cent to $66.8 million, bringing Fox Roth-

schild’s prot margin to 30.8 percent, up

from 28.7 percent.

The rm increased net prots while

growing headcount 6.5 percent from 397

lawyers to 423 attorneys in 2009. The

non-equity partner tier dropped 5.5 per-

cent to 68 non-equity partners and the

equity partner tier grew nearly 12 percent

from 109 equity partners to 122 last year.

The growth in the equity tier ate away at

the net prots, allowing the PPP to in-

crease just 2.8 percent in comparison.

That metric moved from $535,000 in 2008

to $550,000 in 2009.

Fox Rothschild’s RPL rose less than

1 percent from $510,000 to $515,000. The

average compensation for all partners

increased 6.2 percent from $432,000 to

$459,000.

L. Silow, said the gross revenue grew be-

he cost cutting didn’t help maintainvens & Lee’s prot margin, which at 6

entage points lower is still among the

est of the Am Law 200 rms. The

’s net prots fell more than 10 percent,

ging the prot margin down from 57.2

ent to 51.7 percent in 2009.

tevens & Lee has historically had a low

ty partner/non-partner leverage mod-

f nearly 1-1, but in 2006 the rm de-

d to shift its leverage model.

n 2005, before this program began,

vens & Lee had 167 lawyers, including

equity partners. In 2009, the rm had

awyers, including 62 equity partners.

while the headcount grew by about 2

ent, the equity tier shrunk 40 percent.

n looking at the change between 2008

ut 5 percent from 163 attorneys to 171

penses through cost management prac-

s that were implemented in mid-2008.

PPP jumped from $380,000 in 2008 to

$435,000 in 2009.

In the same time frame, gross revenue

fell 4.2 percent from $120 million to $115

million, and RPL dropped by nearly 4 per-

cent from $525,000 to $505,000. The av-

erage compensation for all partners in-

creased 8.5 percent from $354,000 to

$384,000.

Along with bolstering PPP, Saul Ewing

gave a signicant boost to its prot mar-

gin, growing the gure from 24.8 percent

up to 30.6 percent. Net prots in raw dol-

lars totaled nearly $38.3 million.

Stafng levels were a target area as the

rm looked to get to a 3-1 lawyer to secre-

tary ratio. Reports early in 2009 detailed 19

staff cuts and seven associate layoffs at therm. Antzis said that by year end a total of

28 staff positions were cut, including the

original 19. Other than the seven associate

layoffs, only a small amount of attrition oc-

curred in the associate ranks, he said.

Despite cutting some attorneys, Saul

Ewing didn’t shy away from growth. The

rm added 16 new attorneys in 2009, in-

cluding seven from the Wilmington, Del.,

ofce of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney.

Saul Ewing’s head count remained rela-

tively at, moving from 228 attorneys in

2008 to 229 last year. The equity tier grew

by two partners to 81 and the non-equity

tier decreased by 5.7 percent from 52 to
