U.S. companies have already raised $16.8 billion through initial public offerings so far this year, a pace not seen since the start of the financial crisis more than five years ago, according to The Wall Street Journal. Not surprisingly, several Am Law 100 firms are reaping the benefits from the flood in new filings.

The Am Law Daily reported earlier this year on how some firms were preparing themselves for a rebound in U.S. IPOs in 2013, which has so far yielded large listings for the likes of Evertec, Norwegian Cruise Line, SeaWorld Entertainment, Taylor Morrison Home, West Corp., and Zoetis.
