The ATL 2017 Law Firm Rankings: Raises Make You Number 1

Cravath is the top firm (again), joined by some new arrivals in the top 10.

2017 Power100 LogoThe new ATL Power 100 are out. Is Jones Day number 1?

No, of course not. Stop drinking the Ben Ginsberg Kool-Aid. I had a random friend of my mother’s ask me if “Ben Ginsberg’s firm” was “the best in America.” I didn’t even know how to respond. Television ruins America.

Obviously, Cravath is the top firm in our ATL Power rankings. They were the top firm last year, and this year they started a salary raise frenzy. Both presidential campaigns wish they could afford to hire Cravath, but CSM is too busy making bank to trouble itself with the leadership of the country.

There are some new arrivals in our top 10 this year. Wachtell comes in at number 3, suggesting our rankings are getting better. Skadden falls out of our top 10, suggesting that I’m about to be cursed at on Twitter.
