Best Lawyers in America Recognizes 98 Jackson Walker Attorneys

August 16, 2018 | Attorney News



The Best Lawyers in America, a widely regarded guide to legal excellence, has recognized 98 Jackson Walker attorneys in its 2019 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. For over three decades, recognition in Best Lawyers has been regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honor, since an attorney cannot pay to be listed.

Please join Jackson Walker in congratulating the following attorneys included in the 2019 Best Lawyers in America report.

The year next to an attorney’s name marks the first time they were recognized by Best Lawyers.
