The AmLaw 100: Resources Consumed (Lawyers) vs. Revenue Generated
A great deal of interest has been expressed in seeing a chart I created earlier but unfortunately at low resolution to enable it to fit in a browser window.
The bar chart I'm referring to shows, for each and every firm, the extent to which its share of total AmLaw 100 revenue exceeds or falls short of its share of total AmLaw 100 lawyers (headcount). For example, if your firm has 2.00% of total AmLaw 100 revenue and 2.00% of total AmLaw 100 lawyers, your score on this chart is 0—you're right on the X axis.
On the other hand, if you have 3% of revenue and only 1.5% of lawyers (cf. Skadden, more or less), your score will be +100%; 1% of revenue and 2% of lawyers, -100%, and so forth.

Questions and comments are always welcome.
