Best Lawyers in America Recognizes 94 Jackson Walker Attorneys

August 15, 2017 | Attorney News

The Best Lawyers in America, a widely regarded guide to legal excellence, has recognized 94 Jackson Walker attorneys in its 2018 edition. Best Lawyers listings are based on an exhaustive peer review survey of thousands of attorneys who vote on the legal abilities of others in their practice areas. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice,” and inclusion is considered a singular honor, as attorneys cannot pay to be listed.
