Franczek P.C. Lauded as One of Illinois’ Elite Labor & Employment Firms by Chambers for 2026

We are delighted to announce that Franczek P.C. once again has been recognized by Chambers and Partners as one of the elite Labor & Employment law firms in Illinois. As in prior years Franczek is the highest ranked firm that is exclusively based in Chicago. Once again, Jim Franczek and Mike Warner are also ranked by Chambers among the top individual labor and employment lawyers in Illinois.

Chambers is widely recognized as one of the most authoritative and trusted evaluators of law firms worldwide.

In its 2026 USA Guide, the Firm was the highest-ranked boutique in Labor & Employment in Illinois based on our work for both public and private sector work. Chambers lauded Franczek as “a boutique law firm with an excellent reputation in the Illinois labor and employment market.” One client reviewer recognized “The depth of the team’s knowledge, intelligence and experience is exceptional and truly sets them apart within the industry.” You can view the firm’s Chambers profile here.

Chambers once again distinguished named partner, James C. Franczek, Jr., as a “Senior Statesperson” ranked in Illinois Labor & Employment. One Chambers commentator noted “Jim brings a blend of sharp intellect and practical wisdom that comes only from decades at the very top of the field.” Jim has received Chambers’ top ranking for 24 consecutive years – longer than any other labor & employment attorney in Illinois.

Chambers also ranked Michael A. Warner, Jr. in Band 3 of elite individual labor & employment attorneys. Mike is noted by Chambers commentators by “His ability to distill complex issues into clear, practical guidance and dynamic perspective aligns with our operational realities.”

Because these rankings and awards are based on client feedback, they are truly meaningful to us and are a reflection of our values and efforts as a Firm. We are grateful to our clients in all sectors for trusting us with their representation.

Congratulations to the entire Franczek P.C. team.
