Wilkinson Stekloff Again Recognized by Chambers Among Trial Elite; Seven Partners Receive Individual Rankings

Chambers and Partners again ranked Wilkinson Stekloff as an elite law firm across multiple practice areas in its newly released USA 2025 Guide. The leading legal industry research outlet continues to recognize the firm’s work on the most significant trials and consequential litigation in the country across the antitrust, products liability, and sports landscape.

Wilkinson Stekloff has maintained its reputation as a national litigation powerhouse despite its boutique moniker and modest 40-attorney roster, taking nearly two dozen bet-the-company, multi-billion-dollar cases to trial since the firm’s inception, stacking up win after win.  Most recently, the firm scored a complete victory for the NFL and its 32 member teams after post-trial briefing in a class action lawsuit challenging the NFL’s “Sunday Ticket” subscription package distribution model. 

In acknowledgement of these continued successes, Chambers has raised Wilkinson Stekloff’s rankings nearly across the board and vaulted the firm into an additional nationwide category, Antitrust (Band 4). The firm improved their standing in Nationwide Product Liability & Mass Torts: The Elite (Band 3), Nationwide Sports Law (Band 3), and in the District of Columbia for Antitrust (Band 4). They also maintained their status in D.C. General Commercial Litigation: The Elite (Band 2).

Showing the firm’s growing depth of top-tier talent in the courtroom, Chambers newly ranked three Wilkinson Stekloff partners while also increasing the positions of each previously ranked attorney, ultimately recognizing over half of the partnership:
