How the Best Places to Work Evaluation Worked
The annual program identifies legal employers across the United States through a two-part evaluation. The first phase examines each firm's internal policies, systems, philosophy and benefits. The second phase is an in-depth, anonymous employee survey covering workplace engagement, leadership transparency and the overall team experience.
Best Companies Group runs similar programs for other employers. On October 21, 2026, EIN Presswire reported that The Brooks Group was named one of America's Best Workplaces by Best Companies Group for the third consecutive year, with winners announced at a summit on December 10.

"Creating an environment where our team feels supported, respected, and empowered allows us to fight harder for our clients." The firm's attorneys, paralegals and administrative staff work across Norfolk, Newport News and Roanoke. The complete list of honorees was published by BridgeTower Media on its Business of Law Digest platform.
