Drew Eckl & Farnham Selected For Vault’s Top 150 Under 150
We are proud to announce that Drew Eckl & Farnham has been selected for inclusion on the inaugural Vault’s Top 150 Under 150 list for 2015. As a counterpart to the highly respected and widely utilized Vault Law 100, which primarily showcases the largest law firms in the country, Vault developed the Top 150 Under 150.
According to Vault, “to determine the Top 150 Under 150, they first developed a list of the best-known and most sought-after U.S. firms with fewer than 150 attorneys. [Their] editorial and research teams pored through Vault survey data, news stories, trade journals and other legal publications; spoke with lawyers in the field and reviewed other published rankings. Vault editors also assessed each firm for prestige, quality of life and professional growth opportunities, and then narrowed down the results to come up with a list of 150 law firms known for providing top-notch service and delivering big results.”
“As it would be impossible, and not particularly helpful, to compare an IP boutique with 30 lawyers in Palo Alto to a full-service firm with 145 attorneys in Boston, the firms are not ranked. Rather, the Top 150 Under 150 is a recognition of leading law firms that have fewer attorneys, but no less expertise, than the global megafirms that often dominate rankings and headlines.” (Vault Press Release, 2015)
