For the second year in a row, The Washington Post has ranked WilmerHale as the fourth top workplace among large companies in the DC area. A total of 150 companies were honored on one of three lists based on headcount: large, midsize and small workplaces. Within the legal industry, WilmerHale was ranked as the top workplace in DC for 2018. According to The Washington Post, “the firm received especially strong marks from its employees on career development for young lawyers.”

This is the fourth consecutive year WilmerHale's Washington DC office has been recognized by The Washington Post. “We are honored to once again be recognized as one of the best places to work in the Washington, DC metropolitan area,” said Catherine Carroll, partner-in-charge of the firm’s DC office. “WilmerHale’s culture has long been one of collegiality and excellence, where lawyers and staff members are encouraged to maximize their talents, and provided with the mentoring and opportunities to do so. It’s great to see all our efforts paying off.”

According to The Washington Post, WilmerHale “employees describe a no-nonsense work environment where managers are singularly focused on employees' professional development.” The annual survey is conducted by The Washington Post in partnership with employee research and consulting firm Energage to determine the DC area’s top workplaces “based solely on employee survey feedback.”
