Vault recently published the 2026 edition of all manner of its closely watched rankings for the country\u2019s law firms, including\u00a0prestige<\/a>\u00a0rankings and\u00a0quality of life<\/a>\u00a0rankings. We recently discovered which midsize law firms are\u00a0the best to work for<\/a>, but which midsize firms reign supreme when it comes to reputation and prestige in certain regions of the country?<\/p>\n

This is a ranking that matters to those who think \u201clocation, location, location\u201d is the most important thing in life. Vault\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the list of prestige by region from Vault (see the full list\u00a0here<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Boston<\/a>: Wolf Greenfield & Sacks<\/p>\n

Chicago<\/a>: Bartlit Beck<\/p>\n

New York<\/a>: Susman Godfrey<\/p>\n

Northern California<\/a>: Farella Braun + Martel<\/p>\n

Southern California<\/a>: Hueston Hennigan<\/p>\n

Texas<\/a>: Susman Godfrey<\/p>\n

Washington, DC<\/a>: Clement & Murphy<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
