Legal services industry in the U.S. - statistics & facts
Many of the world's largest law firms are headquartered in the United States - including Latham & Watkins, Kirkland & Ellis, and Baker McKenzie. With the United States remaining as the country with the largest gross domestic product (GDP) worldwide, and one of the countries with the largest number of prisoners per 100,000 of the national population, there is considerable legal work to be covered in the North American country. As a result of this, the leading law firms in the United States by gross revenue have become hugely popular and profitable enterprises, repeatedly reporting billions of dollars in turnover.
