It wasn’t just Big Law who stepped up big over the last year. Small and midsize firms stepped up big as well.
Clients point to 43 small and midsize firms — by name — as punching way above their weight class. Top legal decision makers look to these firms with the same level of confidence as the large firms. Clients tell us they are:
- Quick with an opinion
- Skilled and empathetic listeners
- Know their way around the issues
- Understand how to help
- Get things done
- Make deep connections
Please join me in congratulating these 43 firms for not just stepping into the ring — but exceeding the expectations of the most demanding clients in the world:

These firms prove client service savvy still sits at the epicenter of client relationships — no matter how big or small the firm. As we said last year — these firms may not be getting the big transactions or monster litigation, but you may be surprised at the outsized work they get. And, they may just be setting the client service standard for others to match.
