Benesch Ranks #62 Among Top 200 Law Firms in 2024 Leopard Law Firm Index

March 10, 2025

Benesch is pleased to announce that the firm has been recognized among the top 200 law firms in the 2024 Leopard Law Firm Index (LLFI) by legal intelligence provider Leopard Solutions, ranking #62. This marks a significant jump from the firm’s debut at #124 in 2022, underscoring Benesch’s continued momentum and commitment to excellence.

The Leopard Law Firm Index evaluates law firms based on key performance indicators such as success, profitability, viability, growth and potential opportunities. Unlike traditional rankings, which rely on past financial data, the index provides a real-time, data-driven analysis that reflects a firm’s current strength and stability. Updated twice weekly, it provides an accurate and current assessment of law firm performance. 

“We’re honored to receive this recognition and proud of what we’re building at Benesch,” said Chief Human Resources Officer Liz Gillmore. “This ranking reflects not only our recent success but also the exciting trajectory we’re on as we continue to grow.” 

“This achievement is a testament to the Benesch team’s hard work, commitment to excellence and ability to adapt to the evolving legal landscape,” said Leopard Solutions Founder and General Manager Laura Leopard. “Leading law firms in the Leopard Law Firm Index continuously demonstrate their dedication to delivering outstanding service to clients while continuously striving for growth and innovation.”
