As the Am Law 100 posted one of its best years in recent history in 2021, Florida’s three top-100 firms held their own with strong financial performances on key metrics. Greenberg Traurig, Holland & Knight, and Akerman all mirrored national averages for gross revenue and profitability growth and broke their own records, even though they achieved those numbers in different ways.

However, the underlying conditions that drove growth in Florida also tracked trends in the national legal marketplace, which included a phenomenal year for M&A and corporate practices, high demand for real estate transactions and securitization, and a litigation resurgence as courts reopened and resumed jury trials.
