(CHICAGO) Katten announced today that more than 150 firm attorneys were recognized in the 2023 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® and The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch™ as a result of being identified by their peers in a wide range of practice areas.
Two Chicago partners — and leaders of Katten's national Capital Markets practice — were recognized as "Lawyer of the Year" in their respective practice areas — Lawrence D. Levin in Securities / Capital Markets and Mark D. Wood in Securities Regulation. Only one attorney in each practice and in each geographic region is selected as "Lawyer of the Year" by Best Lawyers. This designation is based on high ratings in surveys demonstrating a great level of respect among peers for abilities, professionalism and integrity.
A handful of attorneys also were acknowledged for being named to the Best Lawyers list for a decade, including Chris DiAngelo for Securitization and Structured Finance; Lisa Atlas Genecov for Health Care; Mark R. Grossmann for Corporate; Greg Hidalgo for Corporate and Mergers and Acquisitions; and Joseph V. Willey for Health Care.

Madorsky for Real Estate; Carolyn M. Passen for Trademark; Timothy J. Patenode for Litigation - Real Estate; Jeffrey R. Patt for Corporate and Venture Capital; Michael M. Rosensaft for Criminal Defense: White-Collar; Craig M. Scully for Public Finance; and Mark S. Solomon for Corporate.

For the first time, firm attorneys included in the third edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch are George W. Carter for Real Estate; Mackenzie Collins for Trusts and Estates; Stacy A. Cundy for Trusts and Estates; Bret T. Diskin for Mergers and Acquisitions; Ben Griffith for Corporate, Health Care, and Mergers and Acquisitions; Timothy D.
