Richmond, VA – Williams Mullen has been named a Go-To Law Firm® for Leading Technology Companies by American Lawyer Media (ALM), based on a recent survey.

ALM asked General Counsel at the leading technology companies which outside law firms they turn to for assistance. ALM's research department also investigated and gathered data on technology company's Go-To Law Firms from various resources such as public records including court dockets and securities filings, key publications and well-respected commercial databases.

According to ALM, the surveys and research focused on several areas of legal services, including litigation, corporate transactions/mergers & acquisitions, labor & employment, intellectual property, securities and international. Law firms cannot pay to be on the list.

In-House Law Departments at the Leading Technology Companies is a new and separate publication that ALM's Corporate Counsel has created this year. It will be a stand-alone publication distributed to over 10,000 general counsel. The release date for the guide is projected for mid-May.
