Jackson Walker has been selected for inclusion in the 2019 edition of the U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” rankings. The firm ranked nationally in 27 different practice areas and regionally in 96 practice areas.
“Best Law Firms” rankings are based on client feedback which grades firms 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.
