Sterne Kessler Recognized Among the "Best Places to Work" by the Washington Business Journal

WASHINGTON, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox has been recognized by the Washington Business Journal among the "Best Places to Work in Greater Washington." This is the ninth year the firm has been named to the prestigious list, and this year, the firm placed among the top 20 in the "Extra Large Companies" category—the only law firm ranked in the group.

The annual Washington Business Journal "Best Places to Work" list recognizes workplaces that foster a culture of employee engagement and is based completely on quantitative research gathered from survey responses from the employees themselves, rather than a panel of outside judges. The publication received a record number of over 400 submissions this year, making the 2018 results among the most competitive.

"We are truly honored to be recognized among the best places to work in Washington, D.C. —particularly because this honor comes directly from our employees. Collectively, we work hard at Sterne Kessler to maintain an environment that fosters respect, collegiality and collaboration. Our entire firm family celebrates this recognition of our ongoing efforts," said Michael B. Ray, the firm's managing director.

In addition to Sterne Kessler's status as one of the premier intellectual property law firms in the country, the firm has a long-standing reputation as a great place to work as evidenced by this award and further validated by its inclusion for the past four years among The Washington Post's "Top Workplaces" list. Attorneys and staff are attracted to the firm not only for its the friendly law-firm culture, but also for its top-tier work for a broad range of notable clients ranging from the world's leading innovators, individual inventors and startups to renowned universities and Fortune 500 companies.
