Offit Kurman named to American Lawyer’s prestigious Am Law 200 List
GGI member firm Offit Kurman is pleased to announce that the firm has been ranked on American Lawyer’s venerable Am Law 200 list, an annual ranking of the 200 highest-grossing law firms in the US. The firm joins the ranking at number 191. The 2021 ranking, based on 2020 results, marks the first time that Offit Kurman has been included on the list.
The Am Law 200 list ranks US-based law firms on revenue per lawyer, compensation, profits per lawyer, profitability index, value per lawyer, profits per equity partner, and overall revenue. “Our entrance into the Am Law 200 is a testament to two things – our business model of providing entrepreneurial businesses and their owners with outstanding legal counsel and advice, and the fantastic efforts of our team at Offit Kurman,” said firm Chairman and CEO Ted Offit. “Our entire team is proud of what we accomplished together.”
Since its inception in 1987 in Owings Mills, Maryland, Offit Kurman has grown to 15 offces in eight states and the District of Columbia, with nearly 250 attorneys and 450 employees. Offit Kurman has had remarkable success and growth, doubling in size in the last four years, fuelled by recent expansion in New York City and Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the firm experienced growth in 2020, opening two new offces in the Southeast in the last twelve months. Much of Offit Kurman’s growth has been built on lateral affliation with lawyers and lawyer groups and acquisition of law firms. The firm offers lateral attorneys an objective performance-based compensation model and a unique working environment that embraces innovation.
The firm’s President and Managing Principal Tim Lynch said, “Offit Kurman’s continued success can be largely attributed to our talent acquisition process and composition of like-minded attorneys who flourish in an entrepreneurial environment and are buoyed by a unique operational structure. Our clients have benefitted from this continued approach and, ultimately, we have them to thank for where we are today.”
