Jackson Walker congratulates its 33 attorneys who were named to Thomson Reuters’ 2018 “Super Lawyers – Rising Stars” list. The list recognizes up-and-coming attorneys who have made distinguished achievements in their legal practice areas. Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor. Inclusion is based on a patented selection process and results are validated by a third-party organization, resulting in a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys.
The “Super Lawyers – Rising Stars” list will be published in the April 2018 issue of Texas Monthly.
Below is the full list of Jackson Walker attorneys who made the list, organized by office:
