SEATTLE (September 27, 2022)—Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that it has been recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work® as one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Women™. The firm ranked 27^th on this year’s list of 100 leading employers for women.

“We’re honored that Fortune and Great Place to Work® have recognized our continued efforts of supporting and advancing the careers of all our women lawyers and business professionals,” said Jennifer Bluestein, Perkins Coie’s chief talent officer. “We have a significant and growing number of women leaders, including on both our Management and Executive Committees and across key practices, who are committed to accelerating diversity and inclusion across the firm.”

Diverse women leaders constitute almost half of the firm’s Management and Executive Committees, respectively. Perkins Coie’s 2022 partner class was 64% diverse and inclusive of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people, and the incoming associate class is 83% diverse.

The Fortune Best Workplaces for Women™ list is based on the differences in women’s survey responses to those of their peers and assesses the impact of demographics and roles on the quality and consistency of women’s experiences. Great Place to Work also analyzes the gender balance of each workplace, how it compares to each company’s industry, and patterns in representation as women rise from front-line positions to the board of directors.

Perkins Coie has long been recognized for its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work culture. The firm was ranked as the #8 U.S. employer among the 2022 “Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services 2022™” 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.
