The National Law Journal Reports Segal McCambridge Among NLJ 500’s Fastest Growing Firms in 2025

In an article published in The National Law Journal, Segal McCambridge Managing Shareholder Jason Eckerly weighs in on their firm’s headcount, as a top ten NLJ 500 firm. The piece highlights the constraints shaping hiring decisions and why firms are balancing growth with efficiency. 

“Looking forward, law firm hiring began picking backup in the second half of 2025 and so far, hiring has been strong in 2026,” the author writes. “Based on percentage changes, several midsize firms had the biggest jumps and drops in headcount. Mergers, which occupied many midsize firms last year, drove some of the headcount expansion.”  

Segal McCambridge is one of the leading firms with the biggest jump, seeing a 27% increase with a current headcount of 175 lawyers. 

Jason Eckerly, managing shareholder of Segal McCambridge, reflected on the recent growth of the firm, explaining it is a result of “client demand and the strength of the team we have built,” referencing the merge with Los Angeles-based Chapman Glucksman last September and recent expansions in the Charlotte, Los Angeles and Denver markets.
