Hanson Bridgett Recognized as 2024 Most Admired Law Firm to Work For in Los Angeles
September 10, 2024 (San Francisco, CA) – Hanson Bridgett LLP is proud to have been ranked again among Los Angeles Business Journal's Most Admired Law Firms to Work For. The list is dedicated to distinguishing the most admired and best law firms to work for in the LA region, particularly those that have consciously worked toward creating diverse, positive, and supportive environments to help drive the success of their attorneys.
Firms were selected for inclusion based on a demonstration of the impact made on the profession and the LA community. In today's Leaders of Influence edition, Los Angels Business Journal described Hanson Bridgett as "one of the most diverse among all AmLaw 200 (midsized) law firms" and noted that "employees and recruits deeply appreciate the firm's social impact initiatives and DEI efforts."
This recognition comes as the firm is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its LA office. The office's diverse and growing presence in the market prompted an expansion that will nearly double the size of the firm's current space as the team will relocate to the CalEdison building located in downtown LA early next year.
Contributing to the office's ongoing growth and strong workplace culture, Hanson Bridgett attorneys, professional staff, and recruits are highly engaged in the firm's commitment to the communities where its offices are located.
