Chambers Associate Guide 2022 Recognizes Hunton Andrews Kurth Among Leading Law Firms

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP earned top rankings in the 2022 survey conducted by Chambers Associate. More than 4,000 associates were interviewed and survey on every aspect of law firm life, offering an unparalleled view into the working lives of associates at the nation’s leading law firms.

The firm is recognized as a leading firm in six areas:

Strong performer – Associate Retention

Strong performer – Associate Satisfaction

Strong performer – Pro Bono

Endorsed – Career Development

Endorsed – Quality of Life

Endorsed – Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The guide’s “inside view” of the firm provides a snapshot of responses. “We do top-caliber, international work,” enthused one associate, “but in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere.”

For one associate in Richmond, the chance to “work in a mid-market city without the cost of living seen in DC or New York was perfect. I’m a BigLaw attorney in a medium-sized city.” And this reportedly breeds a more “personable and down-to-earth atmosphere. Everyone is just really friendly here and the firm embraces the family atmosphere.”
