An independent survey from a prestigious national law magazine ranks Stites & Harbison as the top law firm in the Southeast for job satisfaction.

The American Lawyer's 2007 Midlevel Associates Survey evaluated 11 areas that contribute to job satisfaction including relations with partners and other associates; the interest and satisfaction level associates have in their work, training and guidance; policy on billables; management openness about firm strategies and partnership chances; compensation and benefits; and the respondents' inclination to stay at their firm for at least two more years.

"We're proud to receive such positive feedback from our associates," said Jeanne Picht, Director of Professional Development and Recruiting for Stites & Harbison. "Not only are we thrilled to be ranked so highly in these areas, but also that such a high percentage of our associates participated in the survey.
