Methodology
The information is based on voluntary disclosures by law firms and extrapolated data from firm websites when the data was not disclosed. Rankings are based on total attorney head count.
Financial Survey
Financial data is provided for Florida law firms. The Daily Business Review surveyed firms with a major Florida presence. Not all firms disclosed data. For purposes of uniformity, gross revenue represents legal fees billed and collected in a firms fiscal year. It does not include disbursements or soft costs. National firms are included if they generated substantial revenue in Florida. Dollar figures are from the latest fiscal year.
Profit per equity partner is an average. The amounts do not reflect sums distributed to partners. Some partners may receive far less, while other partners may well exceed the average. When calculating revenue per lawyer, of counsel lawyers are counted with associates as salaried employees whose compensation is an element of overhead costs.
