A big thanks to Dr. Adam Feldman, whose analysis of associate-level headcount provided the inspiration and information for this infographic. (Data as of June 28, 2026.)
While our image represents a firmwide picture with combined headcounts for all five firms, you can find more detailed analyses, including geographic, practice area, and firm-specific insights, in Dr. Feldman’s original Legalytics post.
