October 2, 2026 | Spotlight



Jackson Walker has earned recognition in the 2026 “Law360 Pulse Prestige Leaders” rankings, placing among the top five firms with 251–600 attorneys for desirability among attorneys and law students.

Law360’s annual Prestige Leaders rankings recognize 100 firms for their prominence, power, and distinction in the legal industry. Using survey data and proprietary awards, the Law360 Pulse team scores firms across four pillars: financial performance, desirability, editorial awards, and news sentiment.

The recognition reinforces Jackson Walker’s reputation as a leading Texas destination for practicing attorneys and law students. According to Chambers Associate, attorneys value the firm’s authentic, collaborative culture; early opportunities for client contact and courtroom experience; and clear path to partnership, complemented by robust training and mentorship. Combined with Jackson Walker’s deep Texas roots and national reach, these attributes create a compelling platform for legal careers.

The firm has continued to strengthen that platform over the past year with the addition of several high-profile lateral partners: Business Immigration & Compliance partner Benjamin J. Schatz; Corporate & Securities partner Jeffrey Connor; Finance partner Daniel J. Kirksey; Public Finance partner Wendy Montoya Cloonan; Real Estate partner Caleb Trotter; and Trial & Appellate Litigation partner Jose Villarreal.
