Construction Executive magazine ranked Akerman seventh in its annual “The Top 50 Construction Law Firms” list this year. Our firm climbed 25 places over last year's ranking to place among the top 10.

Construction Practice Chair Jeff Gilmore attributed the tremendous improvement in ranking to the overall growth of the practice, not only in the number of attorneys but in the significance of work as well.

“We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished for our clients across the country, so it is truly an honor to be recognized for that work by Construction Executive,” Gilmore said. “Our commitment to innovative project delivery, thoughtful risk allocation, and creative dispute resolution, continues to guide our approach to serving a wide range of construction industry participants.”

Construction Executive, one of the industry’s leading business magazines, based its ranking on survey results from hundreds of U.S. law firms with a construction practice. Data collected included 2023 revenues from the firm’s construction practice; number of attorneys in the firm’s construction practice; percentage of the firm’s total revenues derived from its construction practice; number of states in which the firm is licensed to practice; year in which the construction practice was established; and the number of AEC clients served during fiscal year 2023. The ranking was determined by an algorithm that weighted these factors in descending order of importance.
