White collar law has become an increasingly critical focus in the legal sector, and these strategic hires demonstrate this growing demand. Companies are actively seeking to fortify their defenses and protect their interests in the light of an evolving legal landscape. The Akerman team’s move to Blank Rome LLP aligns with this wider industry trend.
While it remains to be seen how this new team will influence the practice at Blank Rome, the initiative underscores a proactive approach to dealing with white collar matters, and may stimulate other law firms to expand their own teams in the future.
