Oliva Gibbs moved up 87 spots to rank No. 43 on Inc.’s list of the fastest-growing private companies in the Southwest, standing out among legal & energy firms.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, April 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today revealed that Oliva Gibbs LLP is No. 43 on its fifth annual Inc. Regionals: Southwest list. This list is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the Southwest, and includes Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals offer a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southwest economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses.

Last year, the firm ranked No. 130 out of 162 companies in the region, with a total of 1,132 companies on the Regionals list. This year, it improved its position to No. 43 out of 137 companies, placing Oliva Gibbs in the top 31 percent — a significant leap in regional performance and a strong indicator of continued growth. Notably, Oliva Gibbs ranked second among five energy companies in the Southwest Regionals. Compared to its legal industry peers, the firm’s growth rate outpaced three of the four law-related companies listed.

“It’s a real honor to be recognized by Inc. once again as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the Southwest,” firm co-owner Zack Oliva said. “This kind of recognition reflects the incredible dedication of our team, the momentum we’ve built over the years, and the trust our clients continue to place in us.”

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Southwest. Between 2021 and 2023, these 137 private companies had a median growth rate of 106 percent; by 2023, they’d also added 13,809 jobs and $15.9 billion to the region’s economy. This year, Oliva Gibbs LLP rose 87 spots in the rankings.

“Our devotion to our clients’ success extends well beyond what other firms offer,” co-owner Brad Gibbs said. “We’re working with them, day and night, solving complex challenges and pushing the boundaries of what a legal team can achieve. Being recognized by Inc. is a great testament to our work, and I’m excited about what the future holds as we continue to grow and keep delivering to our clients.”
