8/10/2019 PA Law Firm Review
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pa-law-firm-review 4/53
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
s stay the same.
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-
spondents, or 55.6 percent, said they hired

8/10/2019 PA Law Firm Review
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pa-law-firm-review 25/53
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.
More rms — 80.8 percent

same number of rst-years, almost 15
ent hired fewer associates and 18.5
ent had larger rst-year classes than
year before. That may be due, in part,
he fact that some rms reinstituted
grams after taking a year off in 2009.
eferring associates seems to be less
vogue this year. Of the respondents
did have fall 2010 classes, only 15.4
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
ity becomes a very differ
there is an increased need
at all levels, underproduc

Thomas S. Clay
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

8/10/2019 PA Law Firm Review
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pa-law-firm-review 48/53
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.
The rm moved from
revenue for 2008 down last year.

he legal industry had one of its
toughest years ever in 2009, as a
ailing economy led to signicant
nue drops and staff reductions.
hree of the four largest Pennsylvania-
ed rms — Dechert, Morgan Lewis &
kius and Reed Smith — lost a combined
2 million in revenue in 2009 thanks to
opoff in demand of some of their coretice areas.
s it was with most rms that saw rev-
e loss, falloff of revenue was matched
relatively equal percentage drop in
dcount as rms looked to preserve net
ts by cutting lawyers with few or no
rs to bill.
till, some in the industry said it could
e been worse and, on the whole, rms
d better in 2009 than expected at the
nning of the year.
L GATESsburgh-based K&L Gates’ gross reve-
increased 7.8 percent from $959.4
on in 2008 to $1.034 billion in 2009.
prots grew by a smaller amount at
percent to $254 million, dropping the
’s prot margin by less than a percent-
point to 24.6 percent, according to
from The Legal’s sister publication,
American Lawyer.
lthough gross revenue and prots per
ty partner (PPP) increased, revenue
lawyer (RPL) fell by nearly 2 percent
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.

2 and 10 percent. First-year associates
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.
BALLARD SPAHRPhiladelphia-based Ballard Spahr institut-
ed a number of structural changes over
the course of 2008 and 2009 to combat a
tough economy and 30 ye
ing any “housecleaning.”

than 1 percent.
ross revenue increased less than a

ncrease in prot margin or an increase
et prots after a year of cost cutting,
per Hamilton saw net prots decline
ercent to $102.3 million and its prot
gin fall from 31.8 percent to 30.7
ent.
xecutive Partner Robert E. Heideck
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
starting salaries for 2010 were re-
ed from $145,000 to $125,000, he said.
he rm’s headcount remained rela-
y at, moving up less than 1 percent
m 481 full-time attorneys to 484. Thety tier fell by more than 1 percent from
equity partners in 2008 to 143 in 2009.
non-equity partner tier was the only
gory in which Pepper Hamilton saw
ajor change up or down. That tier in-
sed 10.7 percent from 65 non-equity
ners to 72 last year. Heideck said the
reason the rm’s headcount didn’t
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.
The rm’s administrative partner, Mark
L. Silow, said the gross revenue grew be-
cause the rm “added a number of really

18 months and they all rea

nge the rm made was to go back to

el it did away with in 2004 because of
easing competition for talent from the
adelphia-based rms.
tevens & Lee’s constant and historic
s on expense management coupled
a decreasing equity tier helped boost
PPP in 2009. The rm was able to cut
average cost per attorney by $8,000

. A good portion of those cost savings
e due to renegotiating lease deals in
adelphia and other ofces, the bene-
of which were seen in part in 2009 and
be seen in 2010, he said.
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
2009, the rm’s headcount grew
ut 5 percent from 163 attorneys to 171
the equity tier contracted 13.8 percent
m 72 to 62 equity shareholders. The
equity tier grew more than 37.8 per-
year over year, from 37 to 51 non-eq-
attorneys.

nt or its equity partner tier.
anaging Partner David S. Antzis attrib-
the feat to shaving off about $7 million
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
49 non-equity partners.
