Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton will create a new category of non-equity partners, becoming the latest major U.S. law firm to move away from the traditional single-tier structure in which all partners have an ownership stake in the firm.
Adopting a non-equity partnership tier is “an important step for Cleary as we continue to strategically grow,” a firm spokesperson said in a Thursday statement. “Innovating in this way underscores our dedication to developing and retaining talent,” the spokesperson said.
New York-founded Cleary had 180 partners in 2023, according to figures published by the American Lawyer.
