O’Melveny & Myers, a law firm which has undergone considerable expansion in recent years, with the addition of 46 lateral partners from 2021 to 2022, has experienced a dip in financial performance in 2023. Despite these growth efforts and a 12.4% rise in gross revenue in 2022, the firm reported a 3.6% decrease in revenue for the following year. This trend continued despite the firm’s consistent increases in headcount – a factor that contributed to a 4.8% decline in Revenue Per Lawyer (RPL) and a marginal 0.5% decrease in Profit Per Equity Partner (PEP).
Regardless of such challenges, the firm appears prepared for significant activity in 2024, beginning March with an inventory increase of 20% compared to the same period in the previous year. For more detailed information, professionals can refer to the original article here.
