4. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP
Profits per partner: $3,870,000
Up next on our list of most successful law firms in America is Sullivan & Cromwell or S&C which as it is often dubbed has not changed its title to include other names ever since its founders Algernon Sydney Sullivan and William Nelson Cromwell started it in the year 1879. At the beginning, S&C quickly gained a lot of influence in the finance sector, representing bankers to finance improvements in America’s infrastructure. It has retained these relationships with major financial organizations to this day and there’s no doubt that they played a pivotal role in giving S&C the esteem it enjoys today.
With a head count of 792 and each lawyer bringing in over 1.6 million dollars on average, S&C seems to have carved itself a permanent place in various lists of top firms in the country.
