Barclay Damon announces the firm has been named to U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural “Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms” list. The list is an expansion of U.S. News’ career rankings and evaluates the country’s top law firms as a resource to help employees and job seekers. Firms are ranked on factors that analyze how they meet the needs and expectations of their employees compared to their competitors.
“We are proud to be ranked among the country’s best law firms to work for,” said Connie Cahill, Barclay Damon’s managing partner. “We are especially thrilled to have received scores of five out of five in areas that are core to Barclay Damon’s culture of employee wellness and diversity, equity, and inclusion: work life balance and belongingness.” She continued, “Given that attracting the best talent across our platform is key to Barclay Damon’s success and a critical part of our strategy, we always aim to be an employer of choice.”
For over two decades, Barclay Damon has been successfully pursuing a disciplined expansion strategy throughout its platform of offices in major and smaller markets. On January 1, the firm combined with Washington DC–based Shapiro, Lifschitz & Schram. Other recent deals include the addition of 20 lawyers from LeClairRyan, the addition of seven wealth management planning and elder law attorneys from Lacy Katzen LLP, a combination with the 14-attorney bankruptcy firm Menter, Rudin & Trivelpiece, PC, and the addition of the 11-attorney energy-environmental firm Gilberti Stinziano Heintz & Smith, PC. The 65-lawyer Damon Morey LLP combined with the 210-lawyer Hiscock & Barclay in 2015, resulting in the name change to Barclay Damon LLP. The firm’s signature lateral recruitment and integration program has increased the firm from 50 to nearly 300 attorneys. For more information, visit our award-winning website at barclaydamon.com.
