Andrew and Hopkins is pleased to acknowledge the release of the Chambers and Partners 2026 USA Guide, a publication widely regarded as one of the most authoritative benchmarks in the U.S. legal industry. The latest edition recognizes 88 Jackson Walker attorneys and 30 of the firm's departments across the Global and USA guides, reflecting the depth and breadth of talent currently shaping the American legal market.

Chambers rankings are developed through an extensive, independent research process that draws upon detailed interviews with clients, peers, and market participants. For corporate counsel and other purchasers of legal services, the resulting guide has long served as a trusted resource for evaluating outside counsel and identifying practitioners with sustained reputations for quality, responsiveness, and substantive command of their fields. The inclusion of attorneys and departments across multiple practice areas, as reflected in the 2026 edition, underscores the value clients place on rankings grounded in firsthand experience rather than self-reported data.

The recognition of 88 Jackson Walker attorneys and 30 of the firm's departments is a notable achievement and reflects sustained strong performance across a diverse range of disciplines. Recognition at this scale typically signals consistency over time, a willingness to invest in client relationships, and the kind of cross-practice collaboration that complex matters increasingly demand. Andrew and Hopkins congratulates each of the recognized attorneys and departments on this acknowledgment of their work.

For the broader legal community, the publication of the 2026 USA Guide offers a useful annual checkpoint. It highlights where the market is identifying leadership, how practice areas are evolving, and which teams are earning client confidence in an environment defined by regulatory change, cross-border transactions, and increasingly sophisticated litigation. Andrew and Hopkins views Chambers' annual review as a meaningful indicator of quality and consistency, and one that helps clients navigate an often crowded marketplace for legal services.

The firm remains committed to the standards of professionalism and client service that independent rankings such as Chambers seek to identify, and it looks forward to continued engagement with peers and clients across the industry.
