Warner Norcross + Judd LLP has been ranked one of the Top 10 Best Law Firms to Work For by Vault for the first time.
Based on a survey of over 20,000 associates at large law firms across the country, Vault’s annual rankings of the 50 Best Law Firms to Work For highlight several aspects of workplace satisfaction. Associates are asked voluntarily to rate their satisfaction with their current career outlook, the quality of work assignments they receive, their firm’s commitment to diversity and their compensation package, among other factors.
In ranking Warner in the top 10, Vault noted: One of the largest firms in Michigan, Warner Norcross + Judd prides itself on being capable of handling “your business matters from start to finish.” And it’s not only comprehensive and big, it’s good. The firm has earned the title of “Best Corporate Law Firm in West Michigan” more than once from Corporate Board Member magazine.
Vault goes on to say: Attorneys rave about the firm’s collaborative, friendly culture, which encourages attorneys to socialize regularly. Associates work at or above their level, and while there is some formal training, associates mostly learn by doing. Partners are respectful and happy to help associates grow in their careers, with few exceptions. The firm is very flexible in how hours are put in, and compensation is completely lockstep by year.
“We are proud of the inclusive culture we offer here at Warner and the deep commitment we have to our excellent team of attorneys,” managing partner Mark Wassink said. “Being named a Top 10 Law Firm to Work For by Vault affirms this commitment, and we are honored by this recognition, particularly since our associates voluntarily provided such great feedback.
“Our firm structure encourages collaboration. We are intentional about providing opportunities for our associates to do meaningful work from the moment they join us. We believe in work-life balance and offer the flexibility needed to encourage this. We strive to be a welcoming, inclusive place for everyone, making sure this flows through to everything we do.”
Warner is regularly recognized as a top law firm and an excellent place to work, repeatedly being named one of the “Best Places to Work” and “Cool Places to Work” by Michigan media outlets. BTI Consulting has named the firm a “Top Law Firm in Client Service,” and attorneys are regularly included in Chambers USA, Best Lawyers® and Michigan Super Lawyers.
Warner has enhanced its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts by hiring the firm’s first full-time DEI manager and signing on as a Mansfield™ participant, among many other initiatives. The firm has had two consecutive classes of summer associates with more than 40% people of color and women.
