We are honored to announce that Maxwell Locke & Ritter has been recognized as the #3 Best Places to Work for Women. This acknowledgement highlights ML&R’s commitment to cultivating a workplace where women can flourish in every stage of their career.
Best Companies Group’s Best Places to Work for Women award program is based on rigorous, survey-driven methodology. Organizations participate through an anonymous employee survey process, and results are benchmarked across all participating workplaces—focusing specifically on the experiences, advancement opportunities, and inclusion of women in the workforce.
A Culture That Lifts Women—and Everyone
The Best Places to Work for Women award is more than just a ranking: it’s a rigorous, data-driven evaluation based heavily on employee feedback, as well as benchmarking of policies, practices, and outcomes. Earning the #3 ranking shows that when we invest in people and create space for every voice, success naturally follows.
“We’re deeply honored to be recognized as the #3 Best Place to Work for Women,” said Lesley Hargraves, Audit Partner. “Our goal has always been to create a space where women feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow. This award celebrates the many contributions of women throughout ML&R and our shared commitment to fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.”
