The firm ranked 21st overall, with impressive individual rankings in each category. 

Honored as the sixth Best Law Firm to Work For, the firm also ranked in the top 10 for formal training, commitment to pro bono work, associate/partner relations, firm culture, and selectivity. Regarding diversity, WilmerHale ranked among the top 20 firms for military veterans, individuals with disabilities, LGBT, women and minorities.
