Our Growth

Since our start in 1951, our growth has been driven by our founders' vision to create an institution whose services were sought by leading companies and financial institutions around the globe because of our reputation for providing premier legal services. Their vision was realized as the firm moved beyond its Los Angeles headquarters in 1974 and today continues to expand into key markets around the world to support our clients’ evolving needs.

We are proud of our reputation and remain committed to growth. Paul Hastings is recognized as one of the world’s leading law firms-- ranked 18th in the United States and 23rd in the world according to the 2007 American Lawyer survey. Additionally, we are one of only two major U.S. law firms formed after World War II to have risen to the Top 25 in the United States. Our strong record of solid financial performance and geographic expansion enables us to continually reinvest in our practices and talent, and provide our clients with the highest level of service.
