Archer Norris has been named one of the Best Places to Work in the Bay Area in the annual survey sponsored by the San Francisco Business Times. Archer Norris was ranked No. 24 on the list of 50 companies with 101-500 employees in the midsize company category.  Despite fierce competition from much larger law firms, Archer Norris was the second highest ranked law firm in this category.

The list recognizes the most progressive companies in the Bay Area based on employee opinions about their work culture, management practices, benefits and overall compensation. Nearly 150,000 employees from 354 companies in 12 counties responded to the electronic survey conducted by an independent third party earlier this year.

“We are delighted that we placed so high on the list for the second year in a row,” said Managing Partner Gene Blackard. “The award is a tribute not only to our employees but also to our clients.  It also helps differentiate Archer Norris from other California law firms and contributes to our continuing success in California."

The “Best Places to Work” publication is featured as a special supplement to The San Francisco Business Times, April 30-May 6, 2010.
