Vault
recently
published
the
2026
edition
of
all
manner
of
its
closely
watched
rankings
for
the
country’s
law
firms,
including prestige rankings
and quality
of
life rankings.
We
recently
discovered
which
midsize
law
firms
are the
best
to
work
for,
but
which
midsize
firms
reign
supreme
when
it
comes
to
reputation
and
prestige
in
certain
regions
of
the
country?
This
is
a
ranking
that
matters
to
those
who
think
“location,
location,
location”
is
the
most
important
thing
in
life.
Vault’s
regional
rankings
are
based
on
votes
tabulated
from
associates
who
were
asked
to
rate
firms
on
a
1
to
10
scale
based
on
their
prestige
within
the
region.
Here’s
the
list
of
prestige
by
region
from
Vault
(see
the
full
list here):
Boston:
Wolf
Greenfield
&
Sacks
Chicago:
Bartlit
Beck
New
York:

Northern
California:

+

Congratulations
to
Susman
for
leading
the
pack
in
two
major
regions
for
two
years
in
a
row,
congratulations
the
firms
that
moved
up
in
this
year’s
midsize
regional
rankings,
and
congratulations
to
all
the
firms
that
made
the
cut
in
the
first
place.
It
must
be
nice
to
see
which
midsize
firms
associates
consider
as
their
peers
in
reputation
and
prestige.
