Z Family Law Ranked 1,029 on the 2023 Inc. 5000 List

Inc. revealed today that Z Family Law ranks No. 1,029 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

“It’s a huge honor to be included among the honorees on the Inc. 5000 list,” says Christy A. Zlatkus, the firm’s Founding Attorney and CEO. “When I started Z Family Law in 2018, I couldn’t have imagined that just five years later, we would be ranking among America’s fastest-growing businesses.” Zlatkus continued, “I am so proud of how many families we have already served, and immensely grateful to my team and our clients, colleagues, friends, and supporters who have helped us get to where we are today.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”

Zlatkus agrees, noting, “Being a business owner is not easy, and we’ve overcome many challenges the last five years, including a global pandemic that really threw a wrench in all of our plans, but through it all, our focus has been making the greatest impact on families throughout Montgomery County and beyond.” She added, “This recognition not only demonstrates how far we have come, but is also a symbol of where we want to go, and the many other clients whose lives we want to transform.“

Z Family Law is reinventing the narrative around family law matters, including divorce and child custody matters, family law appeals, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
