7. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP
Profits per partner: $3,470,000
Simpson Thacher is based in New York and believes that success for itself and its clients can be achieved by asking them this simple question: “How can we help you?”
Simson Thacher was founded by three Columbia Law School graduates in the year 1884 but the 1950s and 60s are the years now considered to be the period when this firm became the modern firm that we know today. The firm also considers itself to be one of the more conscious firms when it comes to corporate responsibility, encouraging its attorneys to advise non-profit and similar entities. Furthermore, it has implemented environmentally friendly policies, promoting recycling and limiting energy utilization as much as possible.
