Last
month,
Forbes
released
its
second
annual
ranking
of
America’s

Five
hundred
businesses
are
on
the
list.
Just
one
is
a
law
firm.
That
firm
is

ranked

Since
the
2023
merger
between

and
Nexsen
Pruet,
the
Alabama-based
firm
has
joined
the
Am

earned
accolades
for
client

and
now
made
it
on
to
a
list
of
the
nation’s
top

To
come
up
with
its
ranking,
Forbes
says
it
partnered
with
a
half-dozen
data
firms,
evaluating
“millions
of
data
points
for
thousands
of

to

a
final

Some

the
100+
