Jackson Walker announces its ranking in the 2025 Leopard Law Firm Index (LLFI) Top 250. At No. 86, the firm is recognized for its consistent and stable growth, retention, and overall success throughout the past year.
Since 2020, Leopard Solutions has used a dynamic rating system to objectively identify law firms that demonstrate legal success, profitability, growth, viability, and potential opportunity. The Leopard Law Firm Index uses hard data, updated twice weekly, to provide real-time insights into the overall health of a law firm. Such data include:
- Promotions to partner
- Increases or decreases in revenue per lawyer (RPL) over a five-year period
- Relative success in lateral recruiting and general retention (partner and associates)
- Relative success recruiting and retaining entry-level attorneys
- Percentage of women partners
- Average attorney tenure
- Growth or decline in attorney headcount
- Ethnic diversity within the firm
These factors are designed to provide a true picture of firm stability and eliminate bias related to firm size. The ranking and score for each firm are regularly updated, ensuring that the placement on the Top 200 is based on an aggregate of each week’s performance throughout the year.
