Attorneys:

Ropes & Gray has been named a finalist in three categories as part of the 2025 American Lawyer Industry Awards, including for “Best Law Firm of the Year.” This category recognizes the law firm that has had an exceptional year across its service offerings, netting big wins but also showing a commitment to and progress in an area not solely related to their practice, such as pro bono or innovation in how legal services are delivered.

In addition to Best Law Firm of the Year, the firm and its lawyers were named finalists for:

  1. Managing Partner of the Year – Julie Jones
  2. Best Professional Development Initiative for the firm’s Thrive program. The Thrive program was designed to address the unique challenges new associates face through a science-backed curriculum that equips associates with tools and techniques from positive psychology, tailored to the unique demands of law firm life, helping them to maximize performance and thrive as lawyers. 

The American Lawyer’s annual Industry Awards aim to highlight the legal industry's most impactful and important work of the past year.

This year’s list of finalists can be found here. Winners will be announced at the American Lawyer Industry Awards gala held on November 13.
