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.”
