Short answer: Not under the published rules of the programs we track. Mode's lowest threshold is 10+ employees for legal, and micro1 asks for 30+. Most U.S. law offices are smaller: Census counts 156,583 offices of lawyers, of which 17,397 have 10 or more employees.

The thresholds
Mode lists minimum team sizes of 10+ employees for legal, 15+ for accounting, medical and finance, and 50+ for all other businesses, for companies based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia with several years of records they own (Mode). micro1 asks for 30+ employees, mostly English data, and says it is prioritizing US companies (micro1).
How common small offices are
