Fort Worth, TX. – Cantey Hanger has been ranked as one of the Top 150 Under 150 law firms in the United States in Vault.com’s inaugural poll of associate attorneys. Vault.com compiled the list, which features top U.S. law firms with fewer than 150 attorneys, from submissions, research and interviews with associate attorneys.

“It’s always nice to be recognized as a top firm,” Managing Partner Stephen L. Tatum said. “From an employment and recruiting standpoint, it’s especially gratifying, and a tribute to our partners that work with associates.”

Vault.com made special mention of Cantey Hanger’s pro bono work in family law, including divorce, custody and child support cases for Legal Aid. “Spokespeople for Legal Aid have said that Cantey Hanger’s assistance is particularly crucial because many legal volunteers prefer to avoid family law,” Vault.com wrote.

To determine the Top 150 Under 150, Vault.com developed a list of the best-known and most sought-after U.S. firms with fewer than 150 attorneys. Editorial and research teams pored through Vault.com survey data, news stories, trade journals and other legal publications, spoke with lawyers in the field and reviewed other published rankings. Vault editors also assessed each firm for prestige, quality of life and growth opportunities.
