To find out which law firms represent America’s largest corporations, we do the research. We went through public records to find information on the Fortune 100 for five different practice areas: corporate transactions, commercial law and contracts litigation, labor and employment litigation, torts/negligence litigation, and intellectual property.
To find the most widely used firms for litigation in each of these areas, we turned to Thomson Reuters’s Litigation Monitor database, which compiles information about lawyers, law firms, roles, representation, and parties from Westlaw documents. Cases and opinions include Federal Circuit court dockets filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals; federal district court dockets on active and inactive civil and criminal cases; and federal case law decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court, courts of appeals, former circuit courts, district courts, bankruptcy courts, the former Court of Claims, Court of Federal Claims, Tax Court, related federal courts, and military courts. At the time of our research, the database also contained information on 27 state dockets, although law firms are identified in only 15 of those states. Of those, nine did not cover all the counties in the state.
