(CHICAGO) Katten announced today that more than 130 firm attorneys were recognized in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® and included in The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch as a result of being identified by their peers in a wide range of practice areas.

More than 40 Katten attorneys were listed in The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch, which recognizes attorneys who are early in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice.

Best Lawyers is based on a peer-review survey in which leading attorneys cast ballots evaluating the quality of the legal services of their colleagues in their practice areas. Selected lawyers are checked against state bar association sanction lists to make sure they are in good standing with the ethics committee of their state bar. Recognition by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch is based entirely on peer review and employs the same methodology that has made Best Lawyers the gold standard for legal rankings worldwide.
