Corporate Counsel affiliate ALM Legal Intelligence recently broke out finance and insurance data from its 2017 Who Represents America's Biggest Companies Survey, to discover which law firms are winning the most business in these sectors. ALM Legal Intelligence analyzed data from the 2016 calendar year, found on PACER, with a focus on Fortune 1000 companies, NLJ-350 sized firms and some other small but highly active firms. According to the data, while companies in the finance and insurance sectors continued to turn in-house to get legal work done—with in-house teams surpassing outside counsel in popularity overall—they certainly kept law firms busy as well. And a few firms really capitalized on the work available in these lucrative industries. Here are the law firms our data says finance and insurance companies have used most: 1. Akerman LLP
Miami-based Akerman tops the list as the most popular firm for finance and insurance companies in the 2017 survey. The firm has successfully represented a wide range of companies in this space. Akerman's revenue and headcount have also grown lately, as the firm has worked to meet the needs of clients outside of Florida.
