Downey Brand Celebrates Another Year as One of Sacramento’s Best Places to Work

October 6, 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Downey Brand has been named a Best Place to Work in the Sacramento Business Journal‘s “large company” category. This marks our eighth consecutive year of recognition, and even better, we placed third in our category.

A big thank-you to our attorneys and staff. Your feedback, energy, and commitment make this recognition possible. As Maureen Cooper, our Recruiting Director, said upon accepting the award during Thursday’s awards luncheon, “Every person at Downey Brand plays an important role in making this firm such a great place to work.”

Founded 99 years ago, Downey Brand has built a lasting legacy of excellence and collaboration. As we approach our 100th anniversary next year, we are proud that our strong culture continues to be recognized and that our team remains engaged, valued, and inspired.

The Sacramento Business Journal partners with employee engagement company Quantum Workplace to identify the region’s Best Places to Work. Employees at participating companies complete surveys about workplace culture, satisfaction, and engagement. Companies that achieve the highest scores are recognized, highlighting employers that create environments where their teams can do their best work.

It is always an honor to be recognized alongside the region’s top employers. The Sacramento Business Journal‘s website has the complete list of 2025 honorees.

Recruiting Director Maureen Cooper accepted the award on behalf of Downey Brand. Other attending attorneys and staff included Tiffany Meier, Kim Clark, Sam Overby, Stella Rugama, Morgan Liggan, Paige Kelly, Lori Gilmette, Patricia Pineda, and Stephanie Steevie.
