&lt;p&gt;Vault&#39;s 2022 rankings of the 25 &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-midsize-law-firms-to-work-for&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Best Midsize Law Firms to Work For&lt;/a&gt;&#160;are here, and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/bookoff-mcandrews-pllc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bookoff McAndrews PLLC&lt;/a&gt; has reclaimed the No. 1 spot after dropping to No. 3 in the 2021 rankings. The patent law firm earned a score of 9.199—the only firm to earn an overall score above a 9.00.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This year’s Best Midsize Law Firms to Work For saw three new firms in the top 10—&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/durie-tangri&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Durie Tangri LLP&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/tonkon-torp-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tonkon Torp LLP&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/buckley-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Buckley LLP&lt;/a&gt;—along with some reshuffling, including a seven-spot jump for &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/fitch-even-tabin-flannery-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fitch, Even, Tabin &amp;amp; Flannery LLP&lt;/a&gt; from No. 10 to No. 3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vault’s 2022 top 10 Best Midsize Law Firms to Work For are:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/bookoff-mcandrews-pllc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bookoff McAndrews PLLC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/durie-tangri&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Durie Tangri LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/fitch-even-tabin-flannery-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fitch, Even, Tabin &amp;amp; Flannery LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/farella-braun-plus-martel-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Farella Braun + Martel LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/tonkon-torp-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tonkon Torp LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/buckley-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Buckley LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/susman-godfrey-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Susman Godfrey LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/stotler-hayes-group-llc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stotler Hayes Group, LLC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/robinson-bradshaw-hinson-pa&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robinson, Bradshaw &amp;amp; Hinson, P.A&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/smyser-kaplan-veselka-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Smyser Kaplan &amp;amp; Veselka, L.L.P.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to clinching the No. 1 spot overall, Bookoff McAndrews claimed the top spot in four quality of life rankings: Diversity, Firm Culture (tied with &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/greenberg-glusker-fields-claman-machtinger-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman &amp;amp; Machtinger LLP&lt;/a&gt;), Quality of Work, and Satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Bookoff McAndrews took the lead in a number of categories this year, which helped the firm reclaim its No. 1 spot overall,” said Shelley Awe, Vault’s Law Editor. “Associates at the firm raved about the positive culture the firm has worked hard to maintain during the pandemic, opportunities for early responsibility, strong mentorship, and a solid commitment to diversity—among other factors.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overall Best Midsize Firms to Work For Methodology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Best Midsize Firms to Work For rankings are derived from Vault’s Law Firm Associate Survey, in which associates at midsize firms rated and commented on various aspects of their work life. The rankings were calculated using a formula that weighs associate ratings in 11 different areas: Overall Satisfaction (25%); Firm Culture (10%); Hours (10%); Compensation (10%); Quality of Work (10%); Informal Training, Mentoring &amp;amp; Sponsorship (10%); Associate/Partner Relations (5%); Business Outlook (5%); Career Outlook (5%); and Formal Training (5%); and Transparency (5%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vault Adds Two New Quality of Life Categories to the Midsize Rankings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vault introduced two new quality of life rankings for 2022—&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-midsize-law-firms-to-work-for/formal-training&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Formal Training&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-midsize-law-firms-to-work-for/informal-training-mentoring-sponsorship&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Informal Training, Mentoring, &amp;amp; Sponsorship&lt;/a&gt;—resulting in a total of 15 midsize quality of life rankings in addition to the Overall Best Midsize Law Firms to Work For ranking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Whether training is prioritized is an important consideration for associates seeking employment at a midsize firm,” said Awe. “At smaller firms, leaner staffing naturally lends itself to on-the-job training for junior associates, but providing ways for them to continue learning and developing skills beyond the day-to-day is important for career development. We saw that associates value formal onboarding programs, mentorship and the ability to form organic relationships, and regularly offered CLEs and other tailored programs as they move up the ranks.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In both of these new categories, &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/stotler-hayes-group-llc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stotler Hayes Group, LLC&lt;/a&gt; came in strong at No. 1. &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/kobre-kim-llp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kobre &amp;amp; Kim LLP&lt;/a&gt; took No. 2 in the Formal Training ranking, and Bookoff McAndrews PLLC snagged the No. 2 spot for Informal Training, Mentoring, &amp;amp; Sponsorship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two New Firms Claim Gold in Quality of Life Rankings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several firms made their mark at the top of this year’s quality of life rankings. Two new firms broke into the rankings for the first time, clinching No. 1 spots right out of the gate—Durie Tangri LLP for &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-midsize-law-firms-to-work-for/associate-partner-relations&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Associate/Partner Relations&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-midsize-law-firms-to-work-for/technology-innovation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Technology &amp;amp; Innovation&lt;/a&gt; (in which the firm tied with Fitch, Even, Tabin &amp;amp; Flannery LLP), and &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/company-profiles/law/mcneill-baur-pllc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;McNeill Baur PLLC&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/best-companies-to-work-for/law/best-midsize-law-firms-to-work-for/hours&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hours&lt;/a&gt;.

Our editorial and research teams pored through Vault survey data, news stories, trade journals, and other legal publications; spoke with lawyers in the field; and reviewed other published rankings. Vault editors also assessed each firm for prestige, quality of life, and professional growth opportunities. Then we narrowed the results to produce a list of 150 law firms known for providing top-notch service and delivering big results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To view the complete Top 150 Under 150 list, &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;/top-150-best-law-firms-to-work-for-under-150&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Vault Law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vault Law, an Infobase company, is the most comprehensive and trusted resource for law students and laterals to research law firms.
