Manatt was ranked on The American Lawyer’s 2020 A-List, the publication’s annual ranking of the top 20 law firms in the United States based on financial and cultural factors, including revenue per lawyer, pro bono commitment, associate satisfaction, racial diversity and gender diversity. The firm was also recognized on this prestigious list in 2017.
According to The American Lawyer, Manatt’s recognition on this year’s list was largely due to the jump in the firm’s emphasis on promoting and empowering female and diverse equity partners, with the firm’s “20.5-point improvement in the female equity partner category [being] the single biggest improvement in any metric for any firm on the A-List.”
Commenting on the firm’s A-List recognition, Manatt’s CEO and Managing Partner Donna Wilson was quoted in the article saying, “this is a reflection of a long-term approach that’s really embodied in the culture here, where you can really bring an authentic self to work.”
