Which Law Firms Made the Law360 400 this Year?

Law360 is proud to unveil the 2015 Law360 400, our annual list of the largest firms in the U.S.

Firm mergers drove most BigLaw growth in 2015, with Morgan Lewis' acquisition of 750 Bingham McCutchen attorneys pushing it to the top of the rankings. Squire Patton Boggs — formed from the mega-merger of Squire Sanders and Patton Boggs — also bounded into the top 50. 

Meanwhile, many large firms moved in the other direction, slimming their ranks as litigation slowed and profits decreased.
