Description

How big U.S. law firms are and what they take in, for the US, every state and DC, from three Census Bureau sources. Employer law firms (NAICS 541110, offices of lawyers) by number of employees (fewer than 5, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 99, 100 to 499, 500 or more) with their employees, payroll and receipts, from the Statistics of U.S. Businesses (SUSB) 2022. Businesses with no employees (mostly sole practitioners) and their receipts, by legal form, from Nonemployer Statistics 2024, which publishes legal services (NAICS 5411) as one group. Firm counts, receipts, the share of receipts held by the largest firms and firms by receipts size from the Economic Census 2022. One record per jurisdiction and class. Every size-class row the Census Bureau publishes adds up to its total row, and every figure is the Bureau's own, never estimated.

481 records (status: P 481). Canonical page: https://probativegrowth.com/research/law-firm-size-and-revenue/. API: https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/law-firm-economy/index.json. Published by Probative Growth (probativegrowth.com), a marketing agency for US law firms; not a law firm. Not legal advice. These are Census Bureau business statistics, kept for marketing planning. Counts are for 2022 (employer firms and the Economic Census) and 2024 (businesses with no employees); small differences come from the Census Bureau's disclosure noise.
