UIDE TO LEADING LAW FIRMS THE AM LAW 100/200 THE GLOBAL 100 THE A-LIST CORPORATE SCORECARD ZEUGHAUSER GROUP S 2016 POCKET GUIDE TO THE AMERICAN LAWYER RANKINGS

Dear Clients and Other Friends: We are delighted to present you with the ZGuide to the 2016 Am Law 200 and 2015 Global 100. In our prefatory letter to last year s guide, we noted that the complexion of the firms comprising Am Law lists was as much back to the future as it was the new normal. This certainly has not changed. Measured by the key financial metrics, an elite 10 percent are massed in New York City and/or in London, nearly all of them predominantly corporate. The nifty fifty in the next tier are highly successful full-service corporate firms anxious about sustaining and enhancing their ability to compete for top clients, work, and talent. The balance: a mixed bag of strong and challenged practices. But evidence of the restructuring of the legal industry continued to mount over the past year. Most strikingly, the GC of one of the industry s most demanding discounters, Wal-Mart, widely applauded the $2,000-anhour rates of a top-ten-percent law firm, while another GC squealed and demanded 35% discounts from his select group of providers, in essence demanding that they work for free! Just a few months later, industry leader Cravath, always concerned that the best and ZGuide

the brightest might find careers in investment banking more attractive than law, led the industry with a dramatic pay bump for associates, capping a ten-fold increase in starting pay over the past 40 years. More change lies ahead for Big Law. Brexit may upend the New York/London financial axis, complicating and increasing the cost of vexing strategy choices for growing international firms. A group of leading indigenous Chinese firms already dominating the market for highend legal work in China are positioning themselves to debut in international markets. We seem to be at an impending tipping point in artificial intelligence that portends material changes in the leverage model and the skill sets needed to succeed in Big Law. Although there were no ground-breaking mergers in 2015, the cacophony of mating calls in Big Law is louder and more persistent than ever. In each year s ZGuide, we espouse our belief that market leadership is an imperative not just for success, but for sustainability, and that relentless focus on being at the top will be the only solve for surviving the legal industry s crucible of change. We also reiterate the imperative of surpassing the expectations of increasingly sophisticated and demanding clients while maintaining high levels of profitability. We underscore those imperatives again here. For firms that achieve market leadership, the opportunities remain boundless. In 2016 we are evermore grateful to our clients, the many Am Law 200 and Global 100 firms that participate in our Chair, COO, and CMO Roundtables, and our many other friends in the industry for their interest in and enduring support of our work. We also want to express ZGuide

our gratitude for their extraordinary contributions of time and money to pro bono representations and to their communities across the globe. You inspire us. We join all of you in your belief that these contributions are essential underpinnings of your success and the success of the legal system we cherish. We look forward to working with you in choosing, achieving, and sustaining market leadership! Sincerely, Ron Beard R.

The Am Law 200 Methodology The Am Law 200 is reported by ALM publications throughout the United States, including The American Lawyer, the Connecticut Law Tribune, the Daily Business Review (Miami), the Daily Report (Atlanta), The Legal Intelligencer (Philadelphia), The National Law Journal/Legal Times, the New Jersey Law Journal, The Recorder (San Francisco), and Texas Lawyer. Most law firms provide their financials voluntarily for this report, but all data, whether it comes officially from the firm or not, is investigated by reporters. Definitions Gross revenue is fee income from legal work only. It does not include disbursements or income from nonlegal ancillary businesses. Net is compensation paid to equity partners. Equity partners are those who receive no more than half their compensation on a fixed-income basis. Nonequity partners are those who receive more than half their compensation on a fixed-income basis. Retired partners and of counsel are not counted as partners. Lawyer numbers are full-time-equivalent figures for the 2015 calendar year taken from The National Law Journal s most recent NLJ 350 survey. Temporary and contract attorneys are not included. Calculations Gross Revenue is rounded to the nearest $500,000. Profits Per Equity Partner, Revenue Per Lawyer, and Compensation Average, All Partners are rounded to the nearest $5,000. 2 ZGuide

Profits Per Equity Partner (PPEP) is calculated by dividing net operating income by the number of equity partners. Revenue Per Lawyer (RPL) is the gross revenue divided by the total number of lawyers. Compensation Average, All Partners, is the net operating income plus the fixed-income compensation paid to nonequity partners, divided by the total number of partners, both equity and nonequity. Value Per Lawyer (VPL) is the compensation all partners divided by the total number of lawyers. That number is then divided into $10 million to determine how many lawyers it takes to generate that amount. Location of s Some firms are identified as international or national, rather than identifying them by city, according to the distribution of their lawyers. International firms are those with 40 percent or more of their lawyers outside the United States. National firms are those with no more than 45 percent of their lawyers located in any single region of the U.S. Vereins are broken out separately on the charts because their organizational structure, particularly regarding profit sharing among offices, differs significantly from traditionally structured Am Law firms. The A-List The A-List, comprised of just 20 firms, is determined by rankings in four surveys The American Lawyer s Revenue Per Lawyer (from the Am Law 200), Pro Bono, and Midlevel Associate Surveys, and the Minority Law Journal s Diversity Scorecard. To determine each firm s score, points are doubled for both Revenue Per Lawyer and Pro Bono rankings and then added to the scores for the Midlevel Associate Survey and Diversity Scorecard rankings. Additional information about the A-List is available on americanlawyer.com and in the August 2016 issue of The American Lawyer. u ZGuide 3

The Global 100 Methodology The Global 100 charts rank the world's largest law firms by profits per equity partner, revenue, head count, and the number of countries in which a firm has offices. The charts were produced by ALM Legal Intelligence with reporting by The American Lawyer and other ALM publications, and appeared in the October 2015 issue of The American Lawyer. Although foreign law firms differ in structure from U.S. law firms, steps were taken in the research process to level the playing field. Currency conversion rates (except vereins) are based on the annual average conversion rate of 2015 published by the U.S. Federal Reserve. A total of 123 firms were included on the global charts. Number of Lawyers This is based on the average number of full-time equivalent lawyers at the firm. A firm's ranking on the Global 100 By Lawyers list is included here. Many firms that were in the top 100 by PPEP were not large enough to make the top 100 based on number of lawyers. Location of s The country listed is the country where the firm had the highest percentage of lawyers. 34 ZGuide

Profits Per Equity Partner (PPEP) figures were rounded to the nearest $5,000 and were obtained from the same sources that provided the revenue figures. The PPEP rankings ranked the 100 firms (of the 123) with the highest PPEPs, but only 95 of those firms were among the Global 100 ranked by gross revenue. s that would have ranked 65, 90, 91, 98, and 99 on the PPEP chart were not among the Global 100 by Revenue, and so were not included in the PPEP rankings for the Global 100. Gross Revenue The firms ranking by Gross Revenue are the world s 100 highest-grossing law firms. Revenue figures are rounded to the nearest $500,000. Financial information for U.S. based law firms was obtained from The American Lawyer s Am Law 100 report. All other firms were surveyed directly. Number of Countries The ranking in the last column of the Global 100 chart is based on the number of countries in which a firm has offices. u ZGuide 35
