Prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures.

“By building a long-term home around talented attorneys who have bought into our ‘no jerks’ culture, we believe it’s possible to take on the challenges of complex litigation without the grind often associated with Big Law,” said firm founder Heather Hilgers. “Making this list is a testament to our team of elite litigators who are also supportive colleagues. You know you are doing something right when a law firm is named a best place to work.”

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 543 honorees this year. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization’s benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.

“Each year, Inc.’s Best Workplaces program recognizes the very best in terms of companies that have fostered a truly amazing culture,” says Inc. Editor-in-Chief Mike Hofman. “We use hard metrics and data, as well as qualitative measures, for judging in order to find the very best – and we’re proud that the program is highly selective.”
