‘The Best Lawyers in America’ Features 350 Jackson Walker Attorneys in 2026 Edition, Including 10 “Lawyers of the Year” and 106 “Ones to Watch”

August 21, 2025 | Attorney News

The Best Lawyers in America, a widely regarded guide to legal excellence, has recognized 350 Jackson Walker attorneys across 87 specialty practice areas in its 2026 edition, including 10 Lawyers of the Year and 106 Ones to Watch. 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.

In this year’s guide, Jackson Walker saw the largest number of attorneys in the areas of Commercial Litigation (83 attorneys), Real Estate Law (59 attorneys), and Corporate Law (53 attorneys). The firm also notes the addition of 18 attorneys as Best Lawyers and 43 attorneys as Ones to Watch.
