DALLAS, Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Thompson & Knight has been recognized among the top 20 law firms in The American Lawyer's national survey of third-, fourth-, and fifth-year law firm Associates. The Firm ranks 17th nationally in overall job satisfaction, a jump from the 46th spot in 2018.

Midlevel associates grade their workplaces in the various categories on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score.

"We are appreciative of our Associates who took the time to participate, and to all of our attorneys and staff who work diligently to ensure that our Firm remains a great place to work."
In addition to the national rankings, the survey looks at satisfaction levels for Associates in specific cities. The survey found that Thompson & Knight's Dallas office ranked 5th of all other participating firms, an increase from the 7th spot last year.
