Lippes Mathias LLP is proud to announce that it has earned a place on the BTI Associate Satisfaction A-Listers 2026, an independent ranking of law firms where associates report the highest levels of job satisfaction. The firm was named a leader in the activities driving associate job satisfaction by both associates overall and women associates specifically, based on more than 5,000 survey responses compiled by BTI Consulting Group. 

Utilizing an employee-first approach, Lippes Mathias has long been proud of its culture and feels that it is a differentiating factor for both attorneys and staff. In fact, employees and attorneys have described the firm as collegial, hardworking, family-oriented, and people-first. Additionally, the firm is proud to have added Danielle F. Dodman as the firm's director of attorney engagement and Andrew M. Wilson, who serves as the firm's chief advisory officer. These roles, focused on attorney engagement and internal committees, signal the firm’s increased attention to maintaining its unique culture. Dodman works with internal and external stakeholders to advance the firm's culture of collegiality, diversity, and collaboration. Her responsibilities include attorney onboarding, satisfaction monitoring in the early months of employment, community service programming, and coordination of continuing legal education and continuing professional education credits. Wilson oversees firm initiatives in engagement, mentorship, summer programming, pro bono work, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

"This recognition is a direct result of the intentional systems we have built to support our attorneys from the moment they join the firm," Kevin J. Cross, Lippes Mathias' managing partner and chairman, said. "Danielle and Andrew have been central to creating an environment where attorneys feel supported, engaged, and valued—and that investment pays dividends for our clients and our firm."
