Vedder Price is pleased to announce that more than 40 of its attorneys in Illinois have been named Illinois Super Lawyers by Law Politics for 2010. Robert J. Stucker (Executive Compensation) and Edward C. Jepson, Jr. (Labor and Employment) were named to the Top 100 Super Lawyers in Illinois. For the third year in a row, Charles B. Wolf (Employee Benefits), was named to the Top 100 in Illinois (To be named to the Top 100, an attorney must have received the highest point totals in the 2010 nomination, research and review process).

Illinois Super Lawyers identified the top five percent of the lawyers in Illinois based on research and peer nominations conducted by Law & Politics. Super Lawyers is a listing of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.

In addition, the publishers of Law & Politics and Super Lawyers launched Rising Stars to recognize the top up-and-coming attorneys in the state—those who are 40 years old or younger, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. Twelve Vedder Price attorneys have been named Rising Stars in 2010.
