Last month, Forbes released its second annual ranking of America’s Best Companies. Five hundred businesses are on the list. Just one is a law firm.
That firm is Maynard Nexsen, ranked No. 99. Since the 2023 merger between Maynard Cooper & Gale and Nexsen Pruet, the Alabama-based firm has joined the Am Law 200, earned accolades for client service, and now made it on to a list of the nation’s top companies.
To come up with its ranking, Forbes says it partnered with a half-dozen data firms, evaluating “millions of data points for thousands of companies to produce a final list of 500 top-quality businesses.”
Some of the 100+ metrics include employee sentiment, customer sentiment, media sentiment, financial performance, business trajectory, company size, workforce stability, workforce diversity, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
