Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison has posted increased profits for the 20th year running, on the back of a run of billion-dollar lawsuits and multibillion-dollar transactions for the firm, reports The American Lawyer.

The US firm raked in $1.109bn (£759m) in revenues during 2015, up by 7.1% from $1.036bn (£709m) in 2014. Growth in profits per equity partner kept pace, as the firm’s all-equity partnership saw average take-home profits surge past the $4m mark for the first time.
