On September 9, 2024, Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ) announced the 2024 “Leaders of Influence: Most Admired Law Firms to Work for” List. For the fifth consecutive year, Willenken is featured in this special LABJ supplement that distinguishes the most admired, successful, and best law firms to work for in the Los Angeles area.
LABJ’s “Most Admired Law Firms to Work for” recognition is being awarded to those law firms that consciously work towards creating “diverse, positive, and supportive environments to help drive the success of their attorneys.”
The law firms selected for inclusion were reviewed by LABJ‘s editorial department and chosen based on a demonstration of impact made on the profession and the Los Angeles community, including a review of the firm’s programs and initiatives that benefit staff. Whether you are an attorney or a member of the supporting team, the “most admired” law firms have a specific set of qualities that make them great places to work.
