Carlton Fields Ranked Top Firm and Attorneys Named Legal Leaders in Florida Trend Magazine’s 2017 "Legal Elite"
June 21, 2017

Florida Trend magazine ranked Carlton Fields a top firm with the most attorneys listed to the "Legal Elite" list (18) and a top five firm with the most women honorees. Five firm attorneys were listed on the Florida Trend Legal Elite Hall of Fame list, which is now in its ninth year.

Additionally, one Carlton Fields attorney earned the respect and votes of his peers in Florida Legal Elite's "Up and Comers" - a section listing the top Florida attorneys who have practiced law for less than 10 years or are younger than 40 years of age.

This year's list of 1,080 attorneys represent fewer than 1.5 percent of the active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida.
