We’ll provide a chart for the the top 10 firms in the Second Hundred gross revenue rankings, and the top five firms for the RPL and PPP rankings. Some things to note before you take a look: Dykema Gossett had the largest gain in gross revenue, with a healthy 26.1 percent increase thanks to a merger with Texas-based Cox Smith Matthews. On the opposite side of the coin, despite its stellar performance in terms of PPP and RPL, Irell & Manella had the largest drop in gross revenue, with a 19.2 percent decrease.
