NGE was once again named one of the Best Law Firms for Women and Diversity. The list recognizes firms that use best practices in recruiting, retaining, promoting, and developing women lawyers and lawyers from underrepresented groups, including people of color.

We are proud to share our ranking as one of Vault’s Top 150 Under 150, a list of leading law firms with 150 lawyers or fewer. We also ranked third amongst the best midsize law firms in Chicago, first amongst the best midsize law firms for our pro bono commitment, and among the top midsize firms for diversity and wellness.

NGE ensured that a minimum of 30% of candidates for various positions, such as leadership roles, equity partner promotions, client pitches, and senior lateral positions, were attorneys from historically underrepresented groups (women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities) to attain Mansfield Certification.
