CHICAGO (September 15, 2022)—Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that it has been named as one of Chicago's "Best Places to Work" in 2022 by Crain's Chicago Business. Perkins Coie ranked ninth on the list in the large company category.

"We are honored to be recognized by Crain's Chicago Business as one of the best places to work in Chicago," said Rick Sevcik, Chicago office managing partner. "We strive to maintain an inclusive and collaborative work environment for all our lawyers and business professionals and look forward to continuing to provide effective legal solutions for our clients in Chicago and the Midwest."

Perkins Coie's Chicago office occupies a new space at 110 North Wacker Drive that is designed to accommodate the firm's continued growth. Perkins Coie is frequently recognized for excellence and innovation in the legal industry, and many of the lawyers in the firm's Chicago office have been recognized nationally as leaders in their fields.

The Chicago area companies selected for recognition by Crain's Chicago Business were determined by a two-part survey conducted by Best Companies Group, an independent workplace excellence research firm. The assessment consisted of an employer questionnaire about benefits, policies, practices and other general information. The second part was a confidential employee survey used to evaluate local employees' workplace experience and culture.

Perkins Coie has long been recognized for its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work culture. The firm was ranked as the #1 U.S. employer among the 2022 "Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services" by Great Place to Work®, has been recognized as one of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For®" for 20 consecutive years, and has been named an Inclusion Blueprint Champion by Diversity Lab.
