Sweeney Scharkey LLC is pleased to announce that it has been named as a leading firm in the 2027 Chambers & Partners Illinois Spotlight Guide for Litigation: General Commercial. This ranking, earned for the third consecutive year, is a result of the firm’s outstanding reputation, recognized expertise, and demonstrated commitment to providing top-tier legal services.
The gold standard in legal rankings organizations, Chambers is known for its rigorous, interview-based research methodology. Rankings are determined through in-depth analysis of feedback from clients and peers, making inclusion a meaningful, independent recognition of legal ability and client service. Chambers developed its Spotlight guides to cover regional markets and small firms that consistently “punch above their weight.” Chambers’ Illinois Spotlight Guide for 2027 launched on September 15, 2026.
“We are a small firm of big law expats. We bring big law expertise to middle-market problems, keenly aware of the challenges that in-house counsel and business owners face,” said Joanne Sweeney. “This recognition is not possible without our clients who trust us with their most sensitive matters.”
“We’ve always believed that focus, skill, and raw talent matter more than headcount,” added Ana Bugan. “This ranking reaffirms that clients don’t have to choose big law for sophisticated work; we routinely deliver first-rate advice with boutique-level attention.”
