The way the FCC handles this is a mess – more or less every time a law firm submits an application, the FCC issues them a new “Party ID” even if they are a familiar firm – small changes in punctuation or other information create duplicates, so it’s hard to figure out who is really the most active firms…
But here is my first pass at that list:
+----------+-----------------------------------------+--------+-------------+ | party_id | company | ccount | unique_firm | +----------+-----------------------------------------+--------+-------------+ | 31302 | FLETCHER, HEALD & HILDRETH, P.L.C. | 2176 | 31302 | | 31307 | DOW, LOHNES & ALBERTSON | 1815 | 388818 | | 31343 | WILEY, REIN & FIELDING | 1228 | 388817 | | 31306 | LEVENTHAL, SENTER, LERMAN | 984 | 367341 | | 33579 | SHAW PITTMAN POTTS & THORWBRIDGE | 929 | 387728 | | 31309 | COHN & MARKS | 745 | 386556 | | 31353 | HALEY BADER & POTTS P.L.C. | 645 | 160763 | | 31422 | LATHAM & WATKINS | 619 | 384712 | | 88431 | GARVEY, SCHUBERT & BARER | 552 | 387541 | | 94243 | Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC | 503 | 388618 | | 31355 | FISHER WAYLAND COOPER LEADER & ZARAGOZA | 438 | 31355 | | 70679 | HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP | 395 | 70679 | | 32811 | FISHER, WAYLAND ET AL | 383 | 32811 | | 31632 | IRWIN, CAMPBELL & TANNENWALD, P.C. | 367 | 31632 | | 31318 | PETER & CORAZZINI | 356 | 198487 | | 31311 | ARTER & HADDEN | 335 | 206445 | | 35942 | DAVIS WRIGHT TREMAINE, LLP | 313 | 388470 | | 31315 | GAMMON & GRANGE, P.C. | 233 | 385066 | | 31591 | HOGAN & HARTSON | 226 | 31591 | | 33855 | SHAINIS & PELTZMAN, CHARTERED | 208 | 33855 | | 31304 | COVINGTON & BURLING | 205 | 31304 | | 31378 | REDDY, BEGLEY & MCCORMICK | 201 | 31378 | | 334439 | LERMAN SENTER PLLC | 200 | 388079 | | 31312 | SCHWARTZ, WOODS & MILLER | 186 | 31312 | | 31308 | SMITHWICK & BELENDIUK, P.C. | 171 | 31308 | | 31616 | GARDNER, CARTON & DOUGLAS | 167 | 31616 | | 290004 | COVINGTON & BURLING LLP | 156 | 290004 | | 31580 | ATTORNEY AT LAW | 149 | 31580 | | 31439 | BRYAN CAVE LLP | 136 | 31439 | | 31618 | REED SMITH SHAW & MCCLAY | 131 | 31618 |
Ccount is the Combined number of identical or similar party_ids have been assigned to that firm – some of the duplication would be multiple lawyers that all work for the same firm….
Here is the firm at the top of that list:
