Paul Weiss Achieves Record $2 Billion Revenue and $6.5 Million Profits per Equity Partner

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison has reported a substantial growth in its overall revenue, citing expansion in all five of its core practice areas. The revenue has seen a significant hike, climbing 10.9% to reach $2 billion, a record in the firm’s history. Further, the firm also celebrates crossing the $6.5 million mark in profits per equity partner for the first time, another record for the company.

The financial upswing accompanies the firm’s decision to move to a two-tier partnership and a black box compensation system for its partners. Brad Karp, the firm chair, emphasized on Tuesday that these changes are meant to address the competitive realities of the current marketplace head-on.

The growth, including crossing the $2 billion mark in revenue, occurred in a year when Paul Weiss acquired top talent in London, presenting what Karp identified as a strategic opportunity.
