The Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ) has once again named Willenken to its 2025 “Leaders of Influence: Most Admired Law Firms to Work for” list. This marks the sixth consecutive year the firm has earned a place in the special LABJ supplement honoring law firms that exemplify excellence in workplace culture, attorney development, and community impact.
LABJ’s Most Admired Law Firms to Work For list recognizes firms that intentionally cultivate diverse, positive, and supportive environments—workplaces where attorneys and professional staff can thrive and contribute meaningfully to client success.
Selections were made by LABJ’s editorial team based on each firm’s demonstrable impact on the legal profession and the Los Angeles community. The review included an assessment of workplace programs, professional development initiatives, and the firmwide practices that support employee well-being and long-term growth. Whether attorneys or members of the professional staff, individuals at the “most admired” firms benefit from cultures defined by support, opportunity, and purpose.
On page 36 of this year’s supplement, LABJ highlights Willenken’s distinctive workplace philosophy, noting:
“At Willenken, professional success and personal well-being are inseparable. Attorneys receive unparalleled trial opportunities early in their careers.
Willenken’s diversity is not symbolic — it drives its staffing, leadership, and culture.”
