Size Matters: How Large Is Your Law Office?
We periodically conduct surveys to obtain more information about our readership demographics, which we use for both editorial and marketing purposes. If you’d like to learn more about Above the Law’s audience, click here (information about age, gender, education, and income), or here (PDF; information about employer type).
Today we’d like to find out about employer size. The question for today is:
How many lawyers (including yourself) work in your office?
If you work for an employer with multiple offices — e.g., a law firm or corporation with a presence in several cities — please include only those lawyers who work at your location.
To take the survey, click here (or below). Thanks!

Negative 5 Attorneys.
2 in the US. 534 in India.
Over half of Latham's first years have offices the size of a 1BR apartment in New York City.
N/A -- ATL is only for law students now.
why wouldn't you include yourself?
Do you want the numbers for Latham before or after they fired 50% of their first years?
3 - Not for long. Keep your eyes out for refrigerator boxes, Lathamites! They'll make great shelters next winter, when you're done with all your silly labor protests.
Relevant to your demographics...debt load, as it is indicative of spending power. I noticed that your most prevalent patrons have a household income of $100-250K. Add the cost of that increased earning power and maybe your readers aren't actually going to purchase the high end products from which you are gunning for advertising.
Latham NY laid-off 130 associates in January and February, so it's associate classes are 55% of their December 2008 size.
Good news though, the bloated 2009 class will beef the place back up, until...
7 = Bobby D.
73 attorn- 72. 71. 67. 66. 66... Ok, we have 66 att- damn it. 63. 60. Christ, just ask again in 2011.
11- Classic, classic.
3.
Plus my wang, who I call Schlong, Esq. to make it an even 4 for the letterhead.
Just one. Or 11, if you also count my toes that are buried in the warm sand as I sip my noontime frozen marg on this beautiful beach day.
is anyone else without work? the axe will surely continue to fall
Solo but deferred
Size matters, biatch!

20 and hiring (boutique firm, suck it bitches).
Dealbreaker is a major sausage party.
2.5 plus a secretary. We can hold a staff meeting by shouting down the hall to each other.
Just the way it should be.
There once was a firm named Buchanan,
That threw out –
Like used cups of Dannon –
Its summer class clutter –
Left them laying in the gutter –
As Versace was left by Cunanan.

(circa 2009)
3500 square feet of corner office space with 8 windows.
11 = 12
21 = funny
Just little old me. Me, myself, and I. The one and only.
Define work.
Define "work."
24 - Is that one, or three? Or just two? Please advise.
I get 3500 sq ft wife and a Lexis.
I get 3500 sq ft wife and a Lexis.
27, but how could you not know that it's only me, Mr. Solo.
Does my STD count as a person? If so, then 2 full timers.
My ego would never fit in anything less than 3500 square feet.
29 -- Well, I guess it's one, then.
I had to consider the possibility that your ego was enough for three people.
But in that case, you'd be a Biglaw Partner.
Probably with a 3500-square-foot wife and a Lexis.
Survey seems to imply all work at firms (at least those who are employed...)
We have <50 inhouse corporate at a Fortune 500 co. Is that big or small??????
34,
what about a lexis?
Latham word of the day: office space.
Old definition: Office space is something that you stick monkeys into 3-4 at a time.
New definition: Office space is an unlimited resource that is meant to make a law firm look like a cemetery.
Whatever happened to Justin Bernold and his endless litany of low-participant polls?
