Ice Miller LLP is pleased to announce 121 lawyers were selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America© 2021. Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.

In addition, 20 lawyers were selected by their peers for inclusion in the inaugural 2021 edition of The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch©. These awards recognize attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.
