Benesch Named to U.S. News & World Report’s Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms List for Third Consecutive Year

April 28, 2026

Benesch is pleased to announce that the firm has been named to U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms list for the third consecutive year. Benesch has earned a place on the list every year since its inception, underscoring the firm’s ongoing commitment to cultivating a positive, high-performing workplace where attorneys and professional staff can build rewarding careers.

The U.S. News & World Report Best Companies to Work For: Law Firms list evaluates law firms based on six key factors that are important to employee well-being and job satisfaction:

  • Quality of pay and benefits
  • Work-life balance and flexibility
  • Job and company stability
  • Physical and psychological comfort
  • Sense of belonging and esteem
  • Career opportunities and professional development

Guided by a panel of experts, U.S. News editors conducted an objective, data-driven analysis of law firms, and only those with the highest composite scores across these factors were included in the 2026 ratings.

“Being recognized by U.S. News & World Report for the third year in a row is a meaningful honor and a testament to the dedication of our entire team,” noted Chief Human Resources Officer Liz Gillmore. “By investing in our people, we strengthen our ability to serve our clients and one another.”

“At Benesch, our culture is a strategic priority,” said Benesch Managing Partner Gregg Eisenberg. “We are intentional about building an environment where our people feel supported, respected and valued at every stage of their careers.”

This national recognition follows a series of recent workplace honors for Benesch, including being named a 2026 USA Today Top Workplace for the fourth consecutive year and earning regional Top Workplace awards in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Northeast Ohio and most recently Columbus. The firm is also recognized as one of the 100 Most Loved Workplaces in America by The Wall Street Journal—as the only law firm named to the list.

With an industry-leading lateral retention rate, Benesch continues to differentiate itself in the marketplace as a firm where people want to build long and fulfilling careers. Through ongoing programming, leadership involvement and continuous employee feedback, Benesch is guided by a shared set of values that enable its people to do their best work while advancing clients’ interests and the firm’s long-term success.
