Lippes Mathias LLP has been ranked No. 193 on the 2026 NLJ 500, the National Law Journal's annual ranking of the 500 largest U.S. law firms by attorney headcount. Published by the National Law Journal and compiled by ALM from survey data collected from more than 900 firms, the list places Lippes Mathias among the country's top 200 law firms. 

The firm's position on the NLJ 500 reflects steady growth in attorney headcount, which has expanded its capacity to handle complex legal matters, large transactions, and high-stakes disputes; its ability to deliver coordinated counsel across jurisdictions with local insight and national resources; and its operating model pairing national-caliber capabilities with practical legal strategy. 

The ranking marks the firm's sixth consecutive year of upward movement on the NLJ 500. Lippes Mathias entered the list at No. 316 in 2021 and has climbed each year since — No. 298 in 2022, No. 251 in 2023, No. 232 in 2024, No. 204 in 2025, and No. 193 in 2026 — an average annual improvement of approximately 9.5% up the ranking.
