Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft saw a record year in 2021 as profits per equity partner rose 71% and revenue increased by more than 30%, according to preliminary figures shared with Law.com.

The soaring numbers are a testament to the tremendous volume of deal work the industry saw last year, firm managing partner Pat Quinn said. And, he added, it’s the culmination of a firmwide strategy that’s been in place for several years and now appears to be paying off.
