There are many different and exciting ways to rank law firms. How prestigious are they? How much money are they making? How much take-home cash do partners earn? How big are they?
Yes, size continues to matter when it comes to legal, and since Florida has been in the news so much lately thanks to its inauspicious ties to “Alligator Alcatraz,” today, we bring you a ranking of the largest law firms in the Sunshine State, courtesy of the Daily Business Review. As luck would have it, many midsize and large law firms increased their Florida headcounts in 2024, and the top 100 firms in the territory netted a 8% increase in attorneys over their 2023 numbers. If you’ve ever wondered about headcounts, this is the ranking for you.
It wasn’t just law firm headcount that remained healthy in Florida, but their finances too. The Daily Business Review has the details:

Miami-founded Greenberg Traurig reported the highest gross revenue nationwide among Florida firms, bringing in $2.62 billion in 2024—a 13.7% increase over the prior year. Its revenue per lawyer (RPL) rose 9.3% to $991,000, while profit per equity partner (PEP) climbed nearly 10% to $2.63 million. The firm had a small dip in the number of Florida attorneys it employs, but still ranks third in attorney headcount of law firms in the state.
Holland & Knight followed with $2.04 billion in gross revenue, up 10.5% year-over-year. The firm’s RPL and PEP climbed 5.6% and 4.8%, respectively.
Other strong performers included Akerman, which saw a 3.3% increase in revenue and 5.2% growth in RPL, and Carlton Fields, which posted a 6.8% revenue gain and a 4.5% rise in PEP.
The top 15 biggest firms aren’t terribly surprising (after all, some of the largest law firms in the world were founded in Florida). Let’s take a moment to gawk at the Disney State’s largest law firms:
- Cole Scott Kissane: 597
- Morgan & Morgan: 566
- Greenberg Traurig: 362
