Munger, Tolles & Olson is proud to be ranked No. 1 on The American Lawyer’s A-List for the fifth consecutive year and the 12th time overall. 

The A-List ranks America’s top domestic and global law firms. Each year, only 20 law firms qualify for a spot on this list, which ranks “the most well-rounded members of the Am Law 200.” In assigning its rankings, The American Lawyer evaluates firm performance across five key metrics: revenue per lawyer, pro bono, inclusion, midlevel associate satisfaction and the percentage of women equity partners. 

MTO’s continued A-List recognition reflects a longstanding commitment to its people, values and communities. “We want to stay really focused on building a firm that can respond with agility, whatever the disruption is,” said Co-Managing Partner Dan Levin. He emphasized that this means keeping people front-and-center, continuing to provide young lawyers with opportunities to become leaders in the profession and pursuing impactful pro bono matters. 

MTO has earned the highest average A-List rankings in the listing’s 22-year history and the most number one rankings in the history of this award.
