The Legal 500 United States 2024 rankings have arrived, and with it a bevy of new numbers to crunch.

Leading Individual rankings rose by 14% – an increase of 246 lawyers on last year’s rankings. More lawyers than ever are being nominated, and with the market active in many areas, attorneys have a greater body of work to put forward for consideration – with clients increasingly willing to sing their praises.

There were smaller, but still notable increases for Next Generation Partner and Rising Star rankings – 2.7% and 5.5% respectively. Firms are increasingly willing to highlight talent in their junior ranks and share their standout work – perhaps a riposte to concerns over working demands and productivity within many law firms.
