Ice Miller LLP is pleased to announce that 21 partners have been recognized in the 2026 edition of The Legal 500 United States Elite City Rankings, with attorneys honored across nine practice areas spanning the firm's key Midwest markets. This recognition reflects the breadth and depth of Ice Miller's national platform from sophisticated corporate transactions and middle-market M&A to labor and employment, intellectual property, healthcare, real estate, finance and restructuring, and white-collar defense. The firm was also earned national rankings in the 2026 edition of The Legal 500 United States in two practice categories: M&A Middle Market ($0-$250 million) and Real Estate mid-market ($0-$500 million). "Being recognized by multiple independent directories in a single year reflects the consistency and depth of our platform," said Joshua L. Christie, Chief Managing Partner at Ice Miller. "The Legal 500 Elite City Rankings are particularly meaningful because they evaluate firms outside of traditional Big Law, which is exactly where Ice Miller thrives. We deliver the sophistication and national reach of a large firm with the accessibility, responsiveness, and client focus that set us apart."
