Jackson Walker is pleased to announce that Thomson Reuters’ Super Lawyers has named 74 attorneys to the Texas Super Lawyers list and 56 attorneys to the Texas Rising Stars list for 2026.
Introduced in 1991, Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas. Each year, less than 5% of attorneys are selected as “Super Lawyers” and 2.5% as “Rising Stars.” To be selected for inclusion, candidates are nominated by peers within and outside the firm and are evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. After the patented selection process is complete, results are validated by a third-party organization, resulting in a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys.
The firm proudly congratulates the 130 attorneys listed below who were named to the 2026 Texas Super Lawyers or Texas Rising Stars lists. A special congratulations to G. Scott Fiddler, who was recognized in the “Texas Top List” for Houston in 2026. In the table below, use the filters to search by name, recognition, location, or recognized areas.
