What makes SPB unique

There are bigger law firms. But there is no other firm of SPB's size that sits at the exact intersection of legal advice, regulatory advocacy, and government relations across six continents.

That positioning, built through the 2014 combination of Squire Sanders and the Washington lobbying institution Patton Boggs, shapes the kind of work trainees do, the clients the firm attracts, and why $23 million in lobbying revenue sits comfortably alongside a $1.36 billion legal practice.

Chairman and Global CEO Mark Ruehlmann has steered an expansion strategy focused on emerging markets and private capital. Global Managing Partner Michele Connell, who succeeded Fred Nance in January 2023, is the first woman to hold the role.

$1.36 billion and climbing

SPB is in growth mode.

• Gross revenue hit $1.361 billion in 2024, up 9% from $1.24 billion in 2023, which itself was up roughly 7% from $1.16 billion in 2022.
• Profit per equity partner stands at $2.344 million, a figure in the same ballpark as the UK's Silver Circle.
• Revenue per lawyer runs at approximately $981,000 based on 1,387 counted attorneys, a big improvement from $650,000 in 2015.
