Law Firms See Single-Digit Profit Growth in 2012

Revenue Growth

Data from 179 large law firms revealed an average profit growth of 4.3% and 3.6% last year, according to a report card from Citi Private Bank.

An earlier report from Wells Fargo Private Bank showed a nearly 6% profit growth and 5% revenue growth, the Wall Street Journal reports.
