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.
