2025 Vault Most Selective Law Firms

Associates were asked to rate their own firm on a 1-to-10 scale for each of several quality of life categories. The firm's score in each quality of life category is simply the average of the scores its associates gave in that area. Firms without a high enough aggregate of associates completing the survey were ineligible to appear in these rankings.
