For 26 years, the 40 Under Forty Committee at Law Bulletin Media has sifted through over piles of nomination forms to select 40 of the most talented young attorneys working in Illinois. This publication is the result of this work. Since the inaugural issue of 40 Under Forty in 2000 and despite ever changing legal profession the competition to be featured in these pages has remained intense. In 2025 more than 1000 nominations for attorneys throughout Illinois will be received. Choosing who to include was just as challenging as the previous 25 editions. What does it take to earn recognition as one of the best young lawyers in the state? Intelligence, passion, success in the office, a desire to help the community and, most importantly, a willingness to work hard at one of the country’s most important professions. Putting together this issue is no easy task. We solicited nominations from across the state. We then worked with our nominated attorneys in fine tuning their profiles. The results, we hope for both an entertaining and educational read. Success at any age is impressive. But to achieve it at an early age is even more of a feat. This is exactly what the 40 young attorneys featured in this publication have done.
