Arnold & Porter has once again been recognized on The American Lawyer's A-List, earning the distinguished honor of being ranked No. 6 among the top 20 firms. This marks the 16th year the firm has been included on the list since it was introduced in 2003. The A-List ranking is based on a comprehensive assessment of both quantitative and qualitative criteria, including financial performance, pro bono commitment, associate satisfaction, racial diversity and gender diversity (the percentage of equity partners who are women).
Michael Daneker, Global Co-Chair of Arnold & Porter, said: "Being named to The American Lawyer's A-List is a tremendous honor and reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional legal counsel while fostering a culture grounded in service, collaboration, and excellence. As firm leaders, we look forward to building on these efforts in the years ahead."

This acknowledgment affirms our commitment to delivering exceptional client service while celebrating the talent, dedication, and values-driven contributions of our colleagues across the firm."
