The lowest ranked firm this week is Chadbourne & Park, which had previously scraped the top 20. What accounts for Chadbourne's fall from grace? Associates in Chadbourne's New York office responded that Chadbourne's attempts to keep up in the salary wars produced some unwanted results. The firm's billable hour demands have become stricter and more closely tied to bonuses. Associates also mentioned poor training and a lack of attention to professional development as contributing factors to the firm's low score.
At Ropes & Grey, there was some complaining about the firm's lack of diversity and conservative culture, but the pay and level of respect they receive from the partners earned the firm high marks.
