If law firms were streaming services, FisherBroyles would be Netflix circa 2013 aggressively expanding into new markets while everyone else is still figuring out what “distributed” even means.

The Atlanta-based firm, billing itself as the world’s largest ‘distributed law firm’ and founded by James Fisher and Kevin Broyles in 2022 (pictured), the firm has grown to hundreds of partners practicing in 29 markets globally.

The firm has grown into an Am Law 200 firm with 300 partners practicing in 23 markets in the U.S. and U.K. The FisherBroyles of today has radically disrupted the way law firms operate, how partners collaborate, where employees work, and how client services are delivered.

Big Law, Featured, UK Law /

“Magic Circle” has been the Rolls-Royce of legal labels since the 1990s, describing London’s five most elite law firms: Allen & Overy (now A&O Shearman), Clifford Chance, Freshfields, Linklaters, and Slaughter and May.

But lately, the firms are treating their prestigious nickname like an embarrassing childhood photo on Facebook, working desperately to untag themselves.

When I recently dropped the “Magic Circle” reference in conversation with a senior partner, their response was swift and brutal: “It’s a sign of lazy journalism.”

Top 10 ‘Value’ Law Schools in 2025 – Who Takes the Top Spot for Law School ROI?

Featured, Frequently Asked Questions, Law Schools, US Law /
Toplawschools

Law School ROI = Career Outcomes ÷ Costs. In simple terms, a law school’s ROI measures how well its graduates’ salaries and job prospects stack up against the cost of attending.

A high ROI school either produces high earners (think big law firm associates) or keeps debt low (through low tuition or scholarships) – or, ideally, both.

The job market for new JDs has been hot: 92.1 percent of the Class of 2022 found employment within 10 months, the best rate in 35 years. National median pay hit $85,000, with graduates in private practice earning a median of $150,000.

And at large firms, first-year associate salaries now start around $215,000.
