Jackson Walker proudly announces the Firm’s inclusion in the 2022 edition of the U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” list. Rankings are based on client feedback on several criteria, including its practice groups, responsiveness, understanding of each client’s business, cost-efficiency, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the Firm. The selection process also includes the collection of peer evaluations and a final review by leading attorneys in each field.

This year, Jackson Walker observed notable improvements in the national rankings, with the rise of Litigation – Intellectual Property to Tier 2 and the addition of Banking and Finance Law to the national rankings roster. The Firm also saw the advancement of Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law, Tax Law, Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants, Litigation – Intellectual Property at the regional level, and the introduction of Copyright Law, Immigration Law, Leveraged Buyouts and Private Equity Law, Litigation – Insurance, and Mining Law to our regional rankings roster.
