Top law firms for associate benefits & quality of life

For every firm taking part in our annual interview-based research, we invite their associates to respond to an online survey covering every aspect of law firm life. They complete a series of questions asking about everything from their initial views on the firm and its competitors, to their relationships with partners and clients, to the firm’s handling of work allocation and career development support. We also ask them about their expectations, aspirations and how important all these factors were when joining the profession and how those views change as they mature. Some questions involve a rating, which we agglomerate here for comparison. The Benefits & Quality of Life scores are a combination of all topics that can affect personal fulfillment at a law firm, such as salary, benefits, and the ability to take vacation/annual leave. 

The below results reflect responses from 1st to 4th year associates.
