One firm dropped from the Am Law 100 to the Second Hundred this year: Pepper Hamilton. Meanwhile, six firms moved onto the Am Law 200. They are Buchalter; Cole Schotz; Eckert Seamans; Goldberg Segalla; Herrick Feinstein; and Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin.
There was an unusual amount of movement in the Second Hundred this year, brought on, in part, by a series of mergers that took Chadbourne & Parke, Kaye Scholer, Strasburger & Price and Sutherland Asbill & Brennan out of the picture, as well as the closing of Sedgwick.
