Ice Miller LLP is pleased to announce that we have achieved 53 national, statewide and regional practice area rankings in the latest edition of Chambers USA, released today, an increase of six rankings overall and nine additional Band 1 rankings.

This year’s guide recognizes 40 firm attorneys ranked in 13 areas, including 17 top-tier Band 1 rankings, gaining eight from 2025 and 11 new individual rankings overall.

Thousands of interviews were conducted by a team of more than 200 researchers to produce the results for 2026.

We're proud of where we are, and even more focused on where we're going as we continue expanding.”
