FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 30, 2024

WASHINGTON, DC— U.S. News and World Report has announced that Finnegan earned a place on its inaugural list of Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms. This guide compares major U.S. law firms on six factors essential to employee well-being and job satisfaction. Firms scoring highest among the factors were named to this inaugural list.

The publication’s methodology considers:

• Quality of pay and benefits
• Work/life balance and flexibility
• Job and company stability
• Physical and psychological comfort
• Belongingness and esteem
• Career opportunities and professional development

Data for evaluation is accrued via multiple publicly available sources and confirmed by reputable external organizations. U.S. News then provides the data-based list to a board of experts, who provide final opinions on the list and requisite methodology. This method is used for the group’s general companies award and its other industry-specific rankings of best workplaces.

"We are thrilled to be recognized as one of the best companies to work for in the United States by U.S. News,” said Tim Henderson, Finnegan’s Chief Legal Talent Officer. Dawn Ibbott, Finnegan’s Chief Human Resources Officer added, “Ensuring the health and well-being of our employees is one of Finnegan’s highest priorities.”

Finnegan has received multiple awards for the quality of its workplace. In 2023, Seramount named the firm one of the best companies for working parents, and one of the best law firms for women and diversity, highlighting Finnegan’s mental health benefits, company culture, and accountability. The firm was also recognized for associate satisfaction and diversity by Chambers and Law360 respectively.
