The Inc. 5000 is a nationally recognized benchmark for entrepreneurial achievement, honoring independent businesses that have achieved remarkable revenue growth over the past three years. This year, only 120 law firms nationwide qualified, and Douglass & Runger ranked as the 40th fastest-growing law firm in the country.
“This honor is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our team and the trust our clients place in us,” said Curt Runger, Founder and CEO. “We’ve grown by focusing on client-centered service, innovative systems, and a commitment to doing the common things in an uncommon way.”
Founded in 2010, Douglass & Runger served the Memphis area for more than a decade before making sweeping changes in late 2021. These changes included refining core values, setting higher performance standards, adopting data-driven processes, and placing greater emphasis on hiring for culture and retaining top legal talent.
Every change was driven by one goal: to build a law firm that listens closely to clients, understands their challenges, and delivers a more responsive, transparent, and outcome-focused experience from start to finish. This rebuild has strengthened client results, fostered a thriving team culture, and fueled sustained growth.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the talented professionals who make up our team and for the clients who trust us during some of the most challenging times in their lives,” Runger added. “Making the Inc. 5000 list shows our approach is working — and the exciting part is, we’re just getting started.”
