Ropes & Gray, tapped as Law Firm of the Year in The American Lawyer Industry Awards 2022, excelled by hitting on many cylinders, topping both the U.S. A-List and the U.K. A-List, and posting double-digit increases in key financial metrics in 2021 as the firm focused on strategic industry sectors.

Along with attention to public service and diversity, as illustrated with the firm's leading A-List rankings, Ropes & Gray has, despite its size, developed a strong corporate practice focusing on middle-market deals, closing 280 over the last two years in several industry sectors including life sciences and health care.
