Wilkinson Stekloff Earns Increased Rankings from Chambers in USA 2026 Guide; Eight Partners Receive Individual Recognition

Chambers and Partners has again distinguished Wilkinson Stekloff as an elite law firm across six practice areas in its newly released USA 2026 Guide, elevating the firm in multiple Washington, D.C. and nationwide categories. This acknowledgment arrives as the firm celebrates its tenth anniversary, having litigated two dozen high-stakes cases to trial since its inception with a remarkable record of success. As a boutique with just under 50 attorneys, Wilkinson Stekloff boasts a deep roster of talented litigators and rivals some of the nation’s largest and most established firms with its rankings in commercial litigation, antitrust, sports law, and product liability.

Wilkinson Stekloff debuted in Band 2 in the newly created “Nationwide General Commercial Litigation: The Elite,” reflecting the firm’s breadth of litigation excellence and reputation for delivering results in jurisdictions across the country. Chambers elevated the firm to Band 2 in “Nationwide Product Liability & Mass Torts: The Elite” and maintained its Nationwide positions in “Sports Law” (Band 3) and “Antitrust” (Band 4). The firm also made significant strides in Washington, D.C., climbing to Band 1 in “General Commercial Litigation: The Elite” and Band 3 in Antitrust.

Founding Partner Brian Stekloff earned rankings in three new practice areas—the prestigious “Nationwide Trial Lawyers,” “D.C. General Commercial Litigation,” and “D.C. Antitrust Litigation Specialists”—while increasing his position in “Nationwide Product Liability & Mass Torts,” his individual accolades now reflecting the considerable range of his trial practice. Founding Partner Beth Wilkinson continues to maintain her distinguished status as a “Star Individual” in three categories and her position in the top Bands of two others.

Bill Geraghty, whose recent arrival as a Partner in the firm’s new Miami office deepens its bench of first-chair trial lawyers, brings elite band rankings across three product liability practice areas. In total, eight Wilkinson Stekloff Partners received Chambers distinctions—with five securing band increases—the second consecutive year in which more than half the Partnership has been recognized by the leading legal directory, further entrenching the firm as the leading trial boutique in the country and placing it among the foremost litigation firms of any size.
