Last week, we released our Outside Counsel rankings, an annual look at the Biglaw firms most trusted by corporate legal departments. Today, we highlight the firms rated highest by in-house counsel based on the industries in which they work.
Drawing on survey responses from hundreds of GCs and in-house lawyers, we’ve compiled rankings for four industries: Finance/Banking, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Media & Entertainment, and Technology.
While several law firms made the list in more than one industry, just one law firm — Latham & Watkins — appears on all four industry lists. Latham also placed in the Top Tier of our overall ranking across all sectors.
Seven law firms are top ranked in two industries:
- Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld (Finance, Technology)
- Baker & McKenzie (Healthcare, Technology)
- Cooley* (Finance, Healthcare)
- Covington & Burling* (Finance, Technology)
- Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher* (Finance, Media & Entertainment)
- Kirkland & Ellis* (Finance, Technology)
- Ropes & Gray* (Finance, Healthcare)
*Also placed in Top Tier of overall ranking
Congratulations to all the recognized firms! To see who else made the cut, check out the full set of industry rankings.
