US Law Firm Index

How many attorneys with a live licence name each firm on their own bar record. 7,641 firms across 15 states, 254,446 attorneys. Free to read, free to quote. Refreshed 2026-09-06.

Am Law and the NLJ 500 rank firms by revenue and self-reported firm-wide headcount, for the largest few hundred firms, behind a paywall. This counts something different and checkable: attorneys per firm per state, taken from the licence register — so a 30-lawyer firm appears on the same footing as a global one. How this is counted →

States not in the Index

5 bars publish no employer field, so no firm table can be built from them at any threshold: Massachusetts, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee, Washington. Those states are named here rather than shown with a partial count that would rank their firms far too low. Illinois and Indiana were on this list until their registries' detail records were read — the employer was published there, just not in the search results — and both now appear above.

A firm needs 10 attorneys in a state to be ranked, and a state needs 15 ranked firms to get a page. Counts are of active licences only.
