Top Lawyers Earn $2,000 An Hour

The highest hourly billing rates rose about 20% over the last year to an all time high of $2,000 per hour for the highest paid lawyers billing by the hour.  Last year, the highest billing attorneys who billed by the hour billed $1,600 per hour.  The average amount paid per hour by large corporations for lead counsel at their outside firm is about a third of this amount.
