"It  is gratifying to read in a report like this that we are connecting with  clients at a personal level," said Michael Gray, who serves as  Co-Client Affairs Partner for the Firm. "Terms like, 'most recommend,'  'trust,' and 'consistent' derive from delivering results  year-after-year, no matter how complex the issues, or how tight the  deadline."

"We have always maintained that our approach to  seamless collaboration across offices and practices enables us to  deliver outstanding service to clients, and we are proud of our record  doing so across a generation of leaders," added David Kiernan, who also  serves as Co-Client Affairs Partner for Jones Day. "As clients continue  to face peak workloads, we look forward to continuing to deliver the  amazing results they expect."

The 2022 report assesses how clients  rank and compare 281 law firms in the critical area of client service,  measuring 17 different client service activities. The ranking and  comparison of these firms is the product of BTI's more than 350 in-depth  interviews of legal decision makers at the world's leading  organizations, representing more than 15 industry segments. The  interviews were conducted between January 2021 and January 2022. Legal  decision makers interviewed included general counsel/chief legal  officers, direct reports to general counsel, and other legal decision  makers from organizations with $700 million or more in annual revenue.

Securing  the #1 ranking 14 times is an accomplishment unmatched by any other law  firm. This BTI report has ranked Jones Day #1 or #2 in client service  for 20 of the 21 years BTI has conducted and published the survey  results, and the Firm has never been ranked outside the top five (also  unmatched achievements).
