Fisher Phillips Recognized by Female Associates as a Leader in Providing Career Development and Training Resources

Fisher Phillips, one of the country’s preeminent labor and employment law firms representing employers, has been named among the best law firms for associate satisfaction in a new ranking by BTI Consulting. The firm is ranked among 147 law firms included in the BTI Associate A-Listers 2022: BTI Survey of Law Firms Where Associates are Happiest which recognizes law firms for developing strategies for associate retention and job satisfaction. The firm also ranked among the top 122 law firms in the U.S. best at keeping female associates satisfied in their careers and ranked among the top firms in six career development activities.

According to associate respondents, Fisher Phillips ranked among the top firms for its commitment to helping associates in their careers and having at least one partner watching out for them. Additionally, Fisher Phillips ranked among the top law firms by female associates in key training and support activities, including:

• Commitment to helping associates in their career
• Specific action to help develop a career path
• Access to the training they need
• Good mentoring
• Optimism about growing within their firm
• High levels of job satisfaction

“Fisher Phillips is proud to be recognized for creating firmwide actions that meet the expectations and needs of all of our associates,” said Melanie Webber, partner and chair of Fisher Phillips’ Women’s Initiative and Leadership Council. “We are especially honored to be recognized by our female associates for our work in expanding development and training activities across the firm and fostering female leadership opportunities for attorneys at all levels. Our work is not done, but the BTI results are a testament to our commitment to making Fisher Phillips a place where associates have access to the tools they need to create the career they envision.”

The BTI Associate A-Listers list is a first-of-its-kind report based on a large-scale independent survey with more than 4,000 responses. The survey defines what associates want and value – and associates rate firms as best at each – and why. BTI conducted a large-scale survey of associates at Am Law 200, global, mid-size, and smaller law firms to uncover the drivers behind associate retention and job satisfaction.
