1 minute read | August.13.2026

American Lawyer names Orrick No. 11 on the 2026 A-List - marking our 14th year in a row on the A-List.

As AmLaw put it, the A-List recognizes the law firms "operating on all cylinders, showing high performance not just on financial metrics, but across talent, diversity and social responsibility as well." It ranks firms on the basis of objective data across 5 metrics: client service quality, associate satisfaction, social impact, inclusion and women's advancement.

"While our profession is undergoing transformation, these A-List metrics remain key pillars of excellence - especially because they are key to attracting, developing and advancing top talent," said Orrick Chair Mitch Zuklie. "We are grateful to our team for embracing them as part of our core values for more than a decade - and grateful to American Lawyer for their sustained commitment to shining a spotlight on these areas."
