Taft Stettinius & Hollister, a law firm with roots in Ohio, has experienced significant financial growth in 2024, with both revenue and profit increases surpassing industry averages. A critical factor contributing to this growth has been the firm’s strategic focus on mergers.
Since 2008, Taft has successfully completed seven mergers, allowing the firm to expand its capabilities and market reach. The firm’s gross revenue saw a 17% increase, surpassing the $700 million mark, as reported by Robert Hicks, the managing partner and chair of the firm. In tandem, profits per equity partner increased by 19%, crossing the $1 million threshold for the first time last year.
One of the key drivers behind this robust financial performance has been the hiring of lateral partners who have brought substantial revenue with them. This strategic move has not only boosted immediate revenue figures but also strengthened the firm’s position in a competitive legal market.
