The firms rankings are based on the previously reported attorney numbers. Year-to-year change statistics are based on the revised data from each firm. 2 Dewey & LeBoeuf was formed Oct. 1,, by the merger of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae (No. 57 in with 86 lawyers) and Dewey Ballantine (No. 81, 60 lawyers). 3 On May 7,, Kilpatrick & Stockton merged with Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia. Because the merger occurred after the April 1 census date, the firm s ranking does not reflect the merger. NR: not ranked last year
