What do they bill per hour? I am talking top 50 firms worldwide.

As stated, will depend on type of work, partner vs. associate, level of associate and office of the firm.

Top 50 firms will often have 15-20+ offices so your top partners and top offices are going to vary a lot from less significant regional offices.

But throw out some numbers and we'll tell you where we think that fits.

Depends on the experience of the attorneys and the location of the firm, but it averages in excess of $400 per hour.

$500 on up

Partner or associate? What practice area?

On average, between $300 and $1100 an hour, depending on practice (the lower end being commercial litigation, the higher end being a specialty like tax) and seniority (obviously the youngest associates bill less than the most senior partners).
