American Lawyer Media

04.10.2015

For the third consecutive year, Plunkett Cooney, one of the Midwest’s oldest and largest law firms, has been named by American Lawyer Media (ALM) as a “Go-To” law firm in the area of litigation for companies ranking among the Fortune 500.

Law firms on the Go-To list are determined by the “Who Represents Corporate America” feature that appears annually in Corporate Counsel magazine. Each fall, the publishers of Corporate Counsel magazine choose a select group of firms as Go-To Law Firms® for the Top 500 companies.

Firms are chosen based on data obtained from ALM Legal Intelligence searches in public records such as Lexis CourtLink, as well as searches in PACER, a service that provides online access to U.S. appellate, district and bankruptcy court records and documents nationwide. This research determines which law firms represent America's largest corporations in key litigation areas, including contract litigation, tort litigation and labor and employment law, among many others.

The 2015 Go-To Law Firms® were featured in ALM's In-House Law Departments at the Top 500 Companies, a directory of the legal representation of the corporate elite. This directory was distributed to over 20,000 general counsel across the nation, including all subscribers of Corporate Counsel magazine.
