Morgan Lewis No. 1 in Survey of Litigation Firms Used by Fortune 100

By Debra Cassens Weiss
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius came out on top in a Corporate Counsel survey of law firms most often used in Fortune 100 litigation last year.
Helping propel Morgan Lewis into the top spot was employment and labor work, making up half of the matters the firm worked on and captured in the survey, Corporate Counsel reports. Second on the list were employment firms Littler Mendelson and Jones Day.
The survey points to the importance of workplace lawsuits, according to the story. Labor class actions have quadrupled since 2001. At the same time, many companies are consolidating labor and employment work, hiring fewer law firms to handle more of their cases.
