Thompson & Knight Ranks Among Top Law Firms

DALLAS --- In a new study, the international law firm of Thompson & Knight LLP is named as one of the top 40 firms in the U.S. based on growth in three key financial performance measures.

Applying similar principles to those used to evaluate the performance of public corporations, The American Lawyer’s editorial staff tracked law firms’ growth in financial returns and earnings during the past four years based on three categories: revenue per lawyer; profits per partner, and compensation for all partners. The study computed the average growth in each category for the time period of 2002-2006 for each of the nation’s largest 200 firms and arrived at a comprehensive numerical score, which was then ranked on the "Growth Index" chart published in the June issue.

"We’re pleased to be recognized for our consistent performance in recent years based on this type of objective criteria," said Pete Riley, managing partner of the Firm. "Continued growth is important in attracting and retaining the very best attorneys, and as a result providing high-quality and value-oriented service to our clients."
