Akerman LLP

Akerman's practice combines business transactions with disputes, real estate and advice on regulated industries. Its service offering includes corporate law, bankruptcy and reorganization, healthcare, intellectual property, employment, government strategies and tax. Rather than treating these subjects as isolated specialties, its practice materials show how financing, regulation and commercial risk can arise in the same client matter.

A particularly distinctive part of the firm is its Consumer Financial Services, Data and Technology practice. Akerman advises banks and other financial businesses on litigation, compliance and regulatory enforcement. Its financial-institutions litigation work includes workouts, receiverships and bankruptcy proceedings, connecting courtroom work with the practical problems surrounding loans and distressed assets.

Real estate is another substantial part of Akerman's identity. Its materials describe work on transactions, development, construction, environmental issues and public-private projects. Together, these practices give the firm a profile that spans the financing of businesses and property, the rules governing those activities, and the disputes that can follow them.
