Akerman was among the law firms featured by Law360 in its article, “What Drove Firms With The Most New Lateral Partners In 2018,” which looked at the competitive U.S. lateral partner market. Attracting 47 lateral partners last year, Akerman stood out as one of the top five fastest-growing law firms, based on its recruitment results nationally.
Akerman Managing Partner Scott Meyers told Law360 of the firm’s 2018 lateral growth, “None of this growth has been in the mold of, ‘If we build it, they will come,’. It’s been going to places where there is existing client demand, both in terms of geography as well as subject matter expertise.”
