Big firm ability. Small firm agility.
That's Wickens Herzer Panza in six words. Chambers just backed it up three times over.
Wickens Herzer Panza picked up three rankings in the 2027 Chambers Ohio Spotlight Guide: Labor & Employment (the group I lead), Corporate/Commercial, and Litigation: General Commercial.
Only two other firms in all of Ohio matched that. Nobody beat it.
Chambers doesn't work like most legal directories. You don't buy your way onto the list, and you don't get there by submitting a nice write-up about yourself. Researchers call your clients. They call opposing counsel. They ask what it was actually like to work with you, not what your marketing department says about you. If a firm shows up in Chambers, somebody who isn't on that firm's payroll vouched for it.
That's also the reason the Spotlight Guide exists at all. The main Chambers USA Guide skews toward big firms with national footprints — the ones already showing up on every "top law firm" list. Spotlight was built for firms under 75 attorneys doing serious work without that scale, so a business looking for good counsel has somewhere to look besides the Am Law 100.
That's who we are in a nutshell. Not the biggest firm in the room, but one that goes toe-to-toe with the biggest firms in the courtroom and the boardroom, just not on the bill.
The Labor & Employment ranking means the most to me personally. But all three matter, because they're really saying the same thing about three different parts of my firm: our work holds up.
I am incredibly proud of where I work, with whom I work, and the work we do for our clients.
