Am Law Second 100

The American Lawyer just released the list of the 101-200 firms ranked by gross revenues. Click here for the story and rankings.

So many attorneys look to flee BigLaw for an in-house position without considering a move to the Am Law second 100. Look at the stats provided by the American Lawyer: the average profits per partner for the Am Law second 100 is $666,000. It’s certainly less than the average PPP for the Am Law 100 ($1.315 million) but more than you would make in an average in-house legal department. Something to think about on this Friday afternoon.

You could have a pretty good life on $666K/year!

Book Recommendation

Dan Binstock, one of BCG’s most successful recruiters, recently sent this around:

I am reading a really, really good book called “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There” by Marshall Goldsmith. Probably more “a-ha” moments than any other book I’ve read in a long time, and it has been widely recognized as one of the top business performance books of 2007.

Dan is so successful because he is always challenging himself to be better. He’s definitely the person from whom you’d want a performance book recommendation.

Here is a link the book on Amazon.
