Latham & Watkins was ranked #4 in a poll of US general counsel in the 2011 study of leading US corporate law firms issued by Corporate Board Member magazine and FTI Consulting. Latham also placed in the Top 20 in a poll of US corporate directors, and the firm has been ranked in the surveys since their inception in 2001. The report recognizes law firms for the reputations they have established and for the delivery of outstanding client service as determined by the corporate officers, directors and in-house attorneys who directly engage law firms. According to Corporate Board Member, the rankings “provide savvy intelligence for boards looking for legal firepower when the going gets rough – especially in challenging economic times.”
