Cole, Scott & Kissane (CSK), Florida’s largest civil litigation law firm, has advanced significantly in the 2026 Am Law 200 rankings, climbing 10 positions to No. 138 among the nation’s highest-grossing law firms.
The annual rankings, published by The American Lawyer, recognize the top-performing law firms across the United States based on a range of financial and operational metrics. CSK’s rise marks one of the most notable ranking increases among Florida-based firms included in this year’s Am Law 200.
The firm’s advancement reflects another year of sustained growth, continued client confidence, and the strength of CSK’s statewide litigation platform.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our litigation platform and the trust our clients place in us,” said Managing Partner and Founder Richard P. Cole. “While our practice is rooted in Florida, our continued advancement in the Am Law rankings demonstrates that sophisticated, strategic defense work performed here is earning recognition on a national level.”
CSK continues to distinguish itself as a leader in civil defense litigation, with more defense attorneys in Florida than any other firm and a presence across the state serving clients in a broad range of industries and practice areas.
In addition to its improved national ranking, the firm was recognized among the strongest-performing Florida-based firms included in the Am Law Second Hundred.
The 2026 rankings further reinforce CSK’s position as one of the premier litigation firms in the Southeast and nationally.
