Goodwin, citing what firm chair Anthony McCusker called the firm’s “industry built” structure, saw gross revenue skyrocket 11.2% to reach $2.72 billion in 2025, a record high for the firm. The firm crossed the $4 million mark in average profits per equity partner for the first time, growing by 17% to hit $4.24 million and contributing to net income growth of 16.6% to $1.32 billion. The figures reflect the firm’s calendar year 2025 results, after Goodwin last year reported its financial year performance. Goodwin’s revenue per lawyer was up by 11.8% to $1.635 million. “We believe our strong results in 2025 are the result of the future of Big Law being industry-built,” McCusker said in an interview. “We made a very focused decision over a decade ago to focus on these industries and (have) an intense interest in our six main industries. Each of our attorneys operates within those. Clients view us as insiders, not advisers.” McCusker said the firm performed well across all of its geographies. “We have been getting called into deals before they are structured,” he said. “We are viewed as the strategic partner on these deals, and as those opportunities increase, we have seen larger matters.”
