Jackson Walker is pleased to announce the selection of the following three partners to “The 2024 Lawdragon 500 Leading Bankruptcy & Restructuring Lawyers” list:

• Matthew D. Cavenaugh – Bankruptcy, Restructuring & Creditors’ Rights
• C. Wade Cooper – Bankruptcy & Corporate Restructuring, esp. Litigation
• Kristhy M. Peguero – Bankruptcy, Restructuring & Recovery

Launched in 2005, Lawdragon is a legal media company that features news, editorial features, and a variety of guides to the nation’s top legal professionals who lead in a particular practice area or industry and who have handled significant matters within the past year.

In its announcement, Lawdragon noted: “These are the lawyers who can make all the difference for a business, debtor or creditor and have done so time and time again. They reflect the move away from the more extreme boom and bust cycles of bankruptcy practice to a more sustained reality of leverage as a financial tool – wanted or not – throughout economic cycles in a global economy.”

Selection to this list of the top bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys in the U.S. is limited to those who have been in practice for at least 10 years and is based on the publication’s individual research, submissions from firms and companies, and vetting with experienced lawyers in their respective areas.
