Florida firm Akerman Senterfitt has named its first-ever firm president. The firm nominated its chief operating shareholder and M&A partner, Robert Zinn, to be in charge of the firm’s day-to-day operations. The 500-lawyer firm functions like a corporation rather than a partnership, hence the presence of shareholders and a president rather than partners and a mangaging partner. In 2006, Akerman recorded the second highest revenue among Florida firms.
