$300.00Survey Name: NLJ Staffing Survey
Derived from the National Law Journal's NLJ 250 Survey, this data is non-published information on the staffing levels of the top 250 law firms in the U.S. and includes:
  • Number of associates hired in the previous year
  • Number of associates hired laterally in the previous year
  • Number of associates lost in the previous year
  • Number of new partners hired in the previous year
  • Number of partners promoted from within in previous year
  • Number of partners lost in previous year
  • Numbers of part-time and non-staff, i.e. contract, attorneys used in previous year


Methodology/Sources:
As a part of the annual NLJ 250 survey, the National Law Journal sent surveys to approximately 300 law firms and solicited survey information about staffing patterns and procedures. Eligibility is based on a firm's total number of attorneys, not including contract or temporary attorneys. The cutoff point is 165. Also, a firm must have more lawyers based in the United States than in any other single country. Firms are ranked by the total number of full-time equivalent (FTE) attorneys, rather than just full-time attorneys.
