Learning about the top 20 law firms is a crucial step in the application process.
Employers like it when you choose them over the competition and as our table shows below, there are some household names on the list.
You should start by asking yourself what you want from your legal career and then research firms that line up with your goals and although the table below ranks law firms from revenue, other ranking systems such as The Legal 500 and Chambers both rank law firms in a tiering system, where you can gain insight into who's who and really hone in on what type of firm you are looking to join.
