AboveTheLaw 2017 Law Firm Rankings

November 1, 2016

The new ATL Power 100 are out and, according to AboveTheLaw, Cravath is obviously the top firm in its ATL Power rankings. They were the top firm last year, and this year they started a salary raise frenzy. Both presidential campaigns wish they could afford to hire Cravath, but CSM is too busy making bank to trouble itself with the leadership of the country.

 

There are some new arrivals in the Top 10 this year. Wachtell comes in at #3, suggesting ATL's rankings are getting better. Skadden falls out of the Top 10, suggesting that the author of the ranking is about to be cursed at on Twitter.

 

Before clicking the link for the Complete Ranking, here are the Top 10:

 

  1.  Cravath, Swaine & Moore     (no change from last year)
  2.  Kirkland & Ellis     (up 3 from L/Y)
  3.  Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan     (up 10 from L/Y)
  4.  Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz     (up 10 from L/Y)
  5.  Covington & Burling     (up 5 from L/Y)
  6.  Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison     (up 1 from L/Y)
  7.  Latham & Watkins     (down 3 from L/Y)
  8. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett     (down 5 from L/Y)
  9.  Boies, Schiller & Flexner     (down 7 from L/Y)
