The Universum Professional survey ranks the most attractive employers in Norway among professionals with higher education in several categories, including law.

Positive trend

Cecilia received the recognition on Wednesday this week for our standout performance among the law firms, further confirming its status as an attractive workplace for professionals.

"Reaching first place among law firms again is something we don't take for granted. We are particularly pleased to have risen from 12th to 10th place on the overall list of employers in the law category in Norway. This continues the positive trend we've seen over recent years," says Head of People & Culture, Cecilia Mathisen.
 

A tight run

The data for this year's survey is even more robust compared to last year. While Wikborg Rein remained the highest-rated law firm, the Police Department held the top spot in the overall law category.

411 lawyers took part in the survey, more than twice the number of respondents compared to last year. Of those, 7.55% chose Wikborg Rein, up from 7.1% last year.

"This gives us even more confidence that we are on the right track as a company, and reinforces Wikborg Rein's solid standing among professionals," Cecilia added. She also highlighted that the differences in rankings between various companies remain small.

This year's survey was conducted between March and July 2024,  answering the question, "Who is your dream employer?".

Note: The Universum Professionals Survey is distinct from Universum's student survey. For eleven consecutive years, law students have ranked Wikborg Rein as their preferred law firm to work for.
