Perkins Coie Ranks Among the Fortune 2022 “100 Best Companies to Work For®” List, Marks the Firm’s 20th Consecutive Year on the List

SEATTLE (April 11, 2022)—Perkins Coie is proud to announce that it has prominently ranked among the Fortune 2022 list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For®." The firm is ranked at 36th on the latest list, marking its 20th consecutive year of recognition by Fortune as one of America's leading employers and workplaces.

"This honor reflects our sustained commitment to building a strong, inclusive, and respectful workplace culture—a culture in which lawyers and business professionals from every background come together to serve our clients at the highest level every day," said Bill Malley, Perkins Coie's firmwide managing partner. "This recognition is especially meaningful this year, as it reflects our success in preserving the very best of our culture as we navigate the third year of the pandemic and embrace the flexibility of the hybrid workplace."

Since the start of the pandemic more than two years ago, Perkins Coie has introduced a series of additional benefits to support all its attorneys and business professionals. This has included a range of health and wellness benefits, such as lower cost family health insurance premiums. In recent weeks, the firm has implemented a suite of further benefits, including expanded parental and other leave time, and new mental health concierge and therapy services.

"I'm truly proud of all our attorneys and business professionals for their commitment and resilience over the past two years, and our high Fortune ranking and recognition as a leading employer continues to reflect all of their accomplishments and support for one another," said Perkins Coie's chief talent officer. "While the pandemic may have challenged our work environment and culture, we have come together as a firm to rise to the challenge in many admirable ways and have established a stronger footing for continued success going forward."

Perkins Coie is regularly recognized for its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal industry and for its commitment to fostering a work environment in which all employees can thrive and reach their full potential.
