In determining its list of the top law firms, The NLJ, one of the leading legal industry newspapers, surveyed more than 900 law firms to identify the 500 largest in the United States during the previous calendar year.

From this grouping, 24.7% are partners and 45.2% are associates. The Women’s Scorecard is produced as part of the annual NLJ 500 firm head count report, and it only includes FTE attorneys.
