CHICAGO (May 21, 2019) - Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that it has been named as one of the Chicago metro area’s top employers by research and consulting firm Great Place to Work Institute and Fortune for the third year in a row.

The ranking considered almost 19,000 employee surveys at Great Place to Work^®–certified organizations in the Chicago area. The surveys assessed such elements as what employees said about their experiences with trust and reaching their full potential - no matter their position or function within an organization - as well as their experiences with their organization’s values, innovation and the effectiveness of their leaders. Perkins Coie was ranked among 30 large companies as Best Workplaces in Chicago for 2019.

“We’re thrilled to be named for another year as a leading employer in the Chicago metro area by the Great Place to Work Institute and Fortune,” said Rick Sevcik, Chicago Office Managing Partner. “Perkins Coie recognizes the importance of building a strong culture of inclusion, mutual respect and professionalism, which helps us to better serve our clients, and we’re grateful to receive this recognition again for 2019.”

The firm has long been recognized for excellence in the legal industry and for fostering a positive work culture - most notably by being named among Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For^® for 17 consecutive years and Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services for three consecutive years. In addition, the firm has been repeatedly included in Working Mother & Flex-Time Lawyers’ Best Law Firms for Women list and earned the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s top rating of 100 percent in the Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.
