We haven’t referenced an Above The Law article for a while but we thought the following may be of interest
The article is entitled? …..Who Represents Corporate America?
Plenty of links in the piece that you can access by linking here? http://abovethelaw.com/2010/08/corporate-counsel-lists-the-firms-americas-largest-corporations-use/
Now this is a list that matters. Corporate Counsel (an American Lawyer publication) has complied its annual list of the firms that Fortune 100 companies use as outside counsel. This is a list of which firms are getting work from clients with deep pockets. If you care at all about the business end of the law, then you care about this list.
And while the firms that are tapped for this kind of work won?t surprise anybody, it?s always good to take a look at who clients want to be with.
For general corporate law, these are the firms that were mentioned most by clients reporting to the magazine:
Cleary: 12 mentions
Davis Polk: 11 mentions
Cravath: 10 mentions
Simpson Thacher: 10 mentions
Yep, no real surprises there.
But what about some other practice areas? Well, the names start to change?
