Miami-based Akerman reportedly participated in lobbying work that caught federal investigators' attention and fueled speculation of alleged unethical behavior by President Donald Trump's nominee for a top job at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The Am Law 100 firm was featured in a report by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General, which had been investigating Daniel A. Craig, former director of FEMA's recovery division and Trump's pick to help run the agency again.
Its name appeared in an NBC investigative report about a still-unreleased joint OIG and FBI investigation from 2011 into Craig, who withdrew from consideration for the FEMA job this week after the news story broke.
