Akerman was recognized by Law360 as no. 3 in the United States, among the best law firms for Hispanic lawyers. Akerman outperforms the industry when it comes to the total number of Hispanic lawyers at the firm, particularly at the partner level, according to Law360 data. The ranking is based on a survey of nearly 300 firms for Law360's 2015 Minority Report.

Law360 also recently ranked Akerman as no. 35 on the inaugural Best Law Firms for Diversity list and no. 27 on the Best Law Firm for Female Lawyers list.
