CHICAGO - Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP is pleased to announce that 66 of its attorneys have been named by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2010 guide. Sixteen of the firm’s attorneys are ranked for the first time in the 2010 edition, while seven have been ranked for at least 20 years and another nine have been listed for at least 10 years. In addition, Best Lawyers ranked the firm number one for Derivatives Law, Municipal Law and Public Finance Law in both Illinois and Chicago. In 2009, 50 of the firm’s attorneys were selected for inclusion in the guide.
Launched in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 25,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties. Because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
