Goulston & Storrs - A Professional Corporation

Goulston & Storrs ranks highly for the tenth consecutive year in American Lawyer's annual mid-level associate satisfaction poll
Goulston & Storrs announced today that it ranked first among all Boston law firms, and once again attained a high national ranking among mid-size firms, in American Lawyer’s authoritative annual mid-level associate poll. This marks the firm’s tenth consecutive year that it has secured a high ranking in this critical assessment of law firm associates. The rankings, for appeal and job satisfaction among mid-level associates released in the August 2007 issue of American Lawyer Magazine, place Goulston & Storrs first among all mid-sized firms in Boston and third nationally.

In the past, Goulston & Storrs has ranked first nationally among mid-size firms, and in 1998, the first year of the firm’s participation in the poll, the firm was ranked number one among all firms nationally. Participation among law firms has grown dramatically during the life of the survey, as the legal environment has become more challenging and many firms have faced cutbacks. American Lawyer associate rankings are considered a significant barometer in evaluating law firms’ success in attracting and retaining the most talented lawyers.

Said Douglas Husid, co-managing director of Goulston & Storrs, “We’re thrilled to rank at the top for associate satisfaction in Boston and among the highest for peer firms nationally. The ranking reflects our strong commitment to ensuring a thriving and supportive environment for our current associates and future recruits, and is equally strong proof point that our efforts have been successful. We take exceptional pride in the dedicated attorneys that we attract to our firm, and we are also focused on ensuring that our distinctive culture remains evident to our employees and clients even as we have grown over the past year.”

Goulston & Storrs achieved an overall ranking nationally of third, reflecting ratings on a scale from 1 to 5 on factors such as interesting work, atmosphere, management openness, billable hours, pro bono work, training and guidance and treatment by partners.
