“Best Law Firms” 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.

Jackson Walker saw notable improvements in the national rankings, with the commercial litigation practice advancing to Tier 2, and the addition of the trusts & estates practice to the national rankings roster.
