Ropes & Gray's strategic dominance in the Intellectual Property litigation world is world-class according to numerous sources. According to an American Bar Association report, in 2005, there were 47,562 law firms with more than 2 lawyers in the US .
The following is a list of the world's 100 largest law firms by revenue as of February 2018 (I only noted the top 25 below). You can look it up yourself with the below link. Ropes & Gray is number 18 overall for ALL litigation. This was not sectioned off by IP litigation. We're watching an IP litigation All-Star game with most of the players from one team! According to my research, the home run derby began on Monday.
