As its litigation and finance practices picked up activity, Winston & Strawn achieved firm records in revenue and profits last year, growing its topline by about 4% to roughly $1.2 billion, and average profits per equity partner by roughly 2.5% to more than $3.2 million.
The Chicago-founded firm, which announced last fall that Steve D’Amore was set to take over for long-time chair Tom Fitzgerald this summer, saw a slight downtick in revenue per lawyer, as it grew head count by 4.6% to roughly 890 lawyers.
