Ind. Law - "Barnes & Thornburg enters top 100 on list of largest law firms"

So reports Scott Olson in this Indianapolis Business Journal story today that begins:

A spate of office openings and an acquisition have helped catapult Barnes & Thornburg LLP into the upper echelon of the nation’s largest law firms, at a time when the slumbering economy has forced most other big firms to cut staff.

The Indianapolis-based law firm ranked 87th in The National Law Journal’s most recent annual listing of the nation’s 250 largest firms, marking the first time it has cracked the top 100.

Barnes & Thornburg moved up from its 109th-place ranking in 2008, by increasing its lawyer numbers 8 percent, to 483, in offices in seven states and Washington, D.C. The firm has 233 lawyers in Indianapolis and is the second largest in the city, according to the most recent IBJ statistics.
