Husch Blackwell Named to 2026 America’s Best Midsize Employers List by Forbes

KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–National law firm Husch Blackwell has been named to the 2026 America’s Best Midsize Employers list by Forbes, ranking 152^nd out of 500 companies with 1,000 to 5,000 employees.

Husch Blackwell is the second highest ranked law firm and is one of only seven to be featured on the list, which is based primarily on survey responses from more than 217,000 employees working at companies within the U.S. that employ more than 1,000 people. This is the first time the firm has made the list.

“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by Forbes,” said Jamie Lawless, Husch Blackwell’s chief executive. “This accomplishment is a testament to Husch Blackwell’s unique culture—one that values collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation. We are deeply committed to creating an environment where our people can thrive, both personally and professionally. We believe that when our attorneys and business professionals are empowered to grow and pursue their passions, our clients and communities benefit as well.”

Survey respondents were asked if they would recommend their employer to others and to rate their employer based on a range of criteria, including salary, work environment, benefits and opportunities to advance. Participants were also asked if they would recommend their previous employers (within the past two years), as well as the employers they knew through their industry experience or through friends or family who worked there.
