The 2026 edition of Best Lawyers' "Best Law Firms" Directory has been published, with Hinshaw picking up 13 national and 56 metropolitan rankings in the guide.

The national law firm of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP today announced that it has received national and metropolitan recognition in the 2025 edition of the Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" Directory, which was released this morning.

The law firm of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP is pleased to announce that the firm was recognized among a select group of firms that were named "BTI Upmarket Movers" in BTI Consulting's BTI Litigation Outlook 2025 client survey.

Hinshaw partner Teri Drew was recently featured in the Bloomberg BNA article, "Mistaken for the Court Reporter: Litigating as a Woman." The article discusses the courtroom experiences of women litigators, with Drew's personal anecdote serving as the headline of the story. Drew relates how she was mistaken as a court reporter at a recent deposition proceeding. Drew said she considered herself lucky to have been afforded many opportunities to argue motions and take the lead on cases at Hinshaw, but acknowledged that she's the only woman lawyer in 75-80 percent of the cases she works. "I do sometimes feel sorry for some of the women attorneys in the larger firms," said Drew. "You know they know the case better, but when we’re having the motion for summary judgment in a products liability case, they’re sitting there and they’re passing the notes."
