This is grossly incorrect. the first three years of partnership are in the non-equity tier and only if you meet a defined set of criteria that you become equity partner.

This is taken from the “Global 100” list published by Legal Business last month. That list specifies how many equity and non-equity partners each firm has. The percentages have been rounded to the nearest 5%. Please feel free to check the calculations yourself.

How do you even make this up?

A&O Shearman don’t have any non-equity partners so this list is complete BS.

Its so off I don’t even know where to start; 2/10 accuracy.
