Jackson Walker has been featured prominently in the 2026 Chambers and Partners Global and USA guides, with Chambers selecting 88 of the firm's attorneys and 30 of its departments for inclusion. The recognition reflects sustained performance across a broad range of practice areas and reinforces the firm's standing among leading U.S. legal service providers. Chambers and Partners rankings remain one of the most widely consulted benchmarks for legal excellence in the United States, providing clients with an independent assessment of attorney and practice group quality when selecting counsel for sophisticated legal matters.
Among the 88 attorneys recognized in this year's guides, nine achieved nationwide recognition, signaling a level of distinction that extends beyond regional practice and reflects influence at the national level. An additional 12 attorneys were named to the Chambers guides for the first time, highlighting the continued development of emerging legal talent within the firm alongside its established practitioners. Taken together, these results illustrate both the depth of experience available to clients and the ongoing investment in cultivating the next generation of trusted advisors.
At the practice level, Jackson Walker maintained nationwide rankings in First Amendment Litigation, Aviation Litigation, and Government Relations. These designations underscore consistent strength in specialized areas where complex legal issues frequently intersect with regulatory, constitutional, and public policy considerations. For clients navigating media and free speech disputes, aviation industry litigation, or matters requiring engagement with federal and state government bodies, the recognition provides additional confidence in the firm's ability to handle high-stakes matters.
The 2026 Chambers results also reinforce the importance of objective, peer-reviewed evaluations in the legal marketplace. Chambers rankings are based on extensive interviews with clients and practitioners, along with detailed submissions and independent research, offering a measured view of both individual lawyers and entire departments. For prospective clients, this kind of third-party assessment can be a useful starting point when evaluating counsel for litigation, transactional, or regulatory engagements.
The recognition spans multiple offices and disciplines, reflecting the firm's broad service capabilities across the United States and beyond.
