Akin Gump and Sullivan & Cromwell donate to Hillary Clinton camp

Law firms are among the largest financial supporters of the Hillary Clinton campaign to become the Democratic presidential candidate - as her accounts reveal that she has raised £46m.

Morgan & Morgan has given $257,000 - with Sullivan & Cromwell giving about half that sum ($142,000). Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld has donated $119,000. Latham & Watkins has donated $84,000. Other names include Munger, Tolles & Olson; DLA Piper; Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom; and Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison.

Broad support

Unlike other candidates in the past, she is not seen as being over-reliant on banks or other industry sectors. The broad base of her financial support is being seen as a positive for her campaign - in that she cannot be viewed as being dependent on one particular sector, such as Wall Street.  Source: Vox
