ABOUT US

For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

Best Lawyers-designated “metro areas” in this publication.

In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.”

For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

Durham King Financial Services Regulation Chicago, IL

SINCE 1998, Jennifer Durham King has worked as a full-time attorney at the Chicago-based firm Vedder Price P.C., starting as an associate, then shareholder and eventually taking on the role of Co-Chair of the firm’s Capital Markets and Securities Practice Group. With nearly 25 years of legal experience, King currently serves as the Chair of Vedder Price’s corporate practice area as well as a member of its Board of Directors.

Additionally, King counsels and advises clients on a broad range of transactions, from public and private debt and equity offerings, mergers and acquisitions as well as capital planning and formation. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2022 for Banking and Finance Law, King is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Financial Services Regulation Law in Chicago for 2023.

Of her award and legal experience, King stated: “I don’t believe that it’s any one specific accomplishment, client win or engagement that resulted in me and my practice being highlighted this year, but rather a long-term approach to seeking excellence in every client service we provide. Being a good legal and business partner with my clients is really what I believe this recognition is about. I am very humbled by it. I am most rewarded in having the ability to help my clients grow their business, make a change or facilitate making a difference with their own clients. It’s really a matter of client service, as well as continuing to be challenged by new legal developments, insights and evolving ways to show my corporate clients how the laws can help rather than impede their business and progress.

“I think being able to balance staying on top of the everchanging landscape of the law and legal developments in my practice area with client needs and demands as well as personal and professional development is challenging. Every lawyer faces it—things need to ebb and flow over the course of many years for it to all work out so you feel you’ve paid attention to the things that matter—it’s a long-term perspective. I’d like to think that being a great attorney is listening first, and talking later. It’s more of an individual’s willingness to be surrounded by a fantastic team, comprised of different perspectives, and that may often times be much smarter than you!”

Legal experience aside, when King isn’t advising clients on a variety of financial matters, she’s making significant strides for women in the nonprofit sector. In 2019, King acted as one of the initial directors of the board of Bank on Women, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the community banking industry on the importance of women’s inclusion in both a board and C-suite setting while also continuing to develop, promote and advocate for women leaders in banking.

Concluded King: “Bank on Women seeks to accomplish this goal in multiple ways, including hosting and participating in events and maintaining a database of qualified top-notch experienced female board and executive management candidates. We recently hosted our annual symposium featuring the Acting Comptroller of the Currency as our keynote speaker, as well as some very innovative bank CEOs. Since my practice focuses on financial institutions, this was a great opportunity to bring together clients and industry leaders with regulators from DC and others on the forefront of innovation in banking. Not only was it a way to support Bank on Women, but it provided a valuable opportunity to highlight the Vedder Price brand and our banking practice. It was a great event and a very recent highlight for me both professionally and personally.”

Illinois’ Workers’ Rights Amendment

Understanding a legislative decision that received more than 1 million votes in November.

WITH THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS now at a close, Illinois state residents, who had an opportunity to vote on a newly proposed workers’ right amendment known as Amendment 1, have successfully secured its passage by more than 50% of all votes cast during election week. This amendment will now add a workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain into the Illinois Constitution’s Bill of Rights. The newly added amendment reads as follows:

Employees shall have the fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating wages, hours, working conditions and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work. No law shall be passed that interferes with, negates or diminishes the right of employees, including any law or ordinance that prohibits the execution or application of agreements between employers and labor organizations that represent employees requiring membership in an organization as a condition of employment.

This verbiage, which left many legal experts and lawyers alike questioning what exactly the amendment stands to accomplish, shares many similarities with a nearly 90-year-old piece of legislation. Passed in 1935, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) is already set in place to protect both union and private sector workers by helping them maintain their ability to organize and collectively bargain over wages, hours, conditions and any other workplace issues. On the flip side, the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act of 1984 holds the same provisions as the NLRA, only specifically geared toward protecting workers in the public sector.

While the now-amended legislation presents several unknowns, it remains evident that the amendment seeks to accomplish at least two major labor organization goals in Illinois. The first is the prevention of Illinois state from enacting any right-to-work laws on both local and state levels. The second aims to prevent lawmakers, at any level of government, from enacting laws or local ordinances that attempt to reform, alter, moderate or address public union benefits that have already been agreed upon.

IN THE LAW

Joe Bowen, an active member of the “Vote Yes for Worker Rights” group who spearheaded their advocacy campaign throughout the midterms, believes Amendment 1 will now protect Illinois-based workers for years to come. “There’s never been a more important time for us to guarantee these protections in the Illinois constitution because when you look at what’s happening nationally, our rights are under attack. Workers’ rights will put more money in the pockets of working Illinoisans, which will help those families and the communities where they live in,” stated Bowen, as reported by NBC Chicago.

Currently, 23 U.S. states don’t have right-to-work laws enacted, while the remaining 27 states do. To date, states

such as New York, Hawaii, Missouri and now Illinois have already established the right to collective bargaining in their constitutions. The successful approval of Amendment 1 will now significantly set Illinois apart from any other state in one regard, by making it the first state to enact an active ban on right-to-work laws. Additionally, under Amendment 1, workers in any publicly formed union are now permitted to negotiate over their right to strike and ask for what they want at the bargaining table, including police, fire and other public safety employees who cannot walk off their jobs. Moving forward, legal experts and state voters believe Amendment 1 will likely change the employment landscape in Illinois for years to come.

The Bellows Law Group Executive Compensation | Employment Law | Business Litigation www.bellowslawgroup.com (312) 332-3340 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 1870 Chicago, Illinois 60601 lbellows@bellowslaw.com

THE BELLOWS LAW GROUP

is internationally recognized for our expertise in executive compensation, with special emphasis on negotiating and litigating Severance Agreements and Employment Agreements for senior executives. Based in the historic Jewelers’ Building on Chicago’s riverwalk, the Bellows Law Group serves clients throughout the United States and across the globe.

When working with clients, the Bellows Law Group layers legal expertise with practical solutions to bring structure to crucial decisions.

OUR SERVICES

Executive Compensation

We represent C-suite executives and entrepreneurs as they consider employment offers, receive notice of termination, or face a Change-in-Control or restructure that affects their role.

“We are negotiating your life—not just a business deal,” says Ms. Bellows.

We negotiate your compensation, your equity position, or your profit interest in the company and separation benefits based on your current and future goals.

Employment Law

We represent executives involved in workplace and contract disputes. We safeguard professional reputations.

“Avoid common pitfalls, take control of your best outcome and develop the confidence to make your own decision in support of your long-term professional growth,” says Ms. Bellows.

Business Litigation

When needed, we are aggressive business trial lawyers. But first, we assist clients to avoid disputes before they evolve into costly, extended litigation. We are certified mediators known to resolve matters

and minimize legal exposure. However, we arbitrate or litigate to obtain optimal results.

Executives Facing Termination or an Employment Opportunity Must Consider the Following:

• You are unique. Determine your value.

• What facts will be influential?

• Consider the context. Is your new employer an established business or a start-up? Are you replacing an executive? Are there financial constraints? Will you receive equity?

Who has decision making authority?

The firm offers vigorous advocacy, ongoing strategy, negotiation frameworks and legal support for the challenges faced by our executive clients and companies of all sizes, public and private.

ABOUT LAUREL BELLOWS

Your Intellectual Property Answer

Whether your company is large or small, intellectual property can be critical to your success. Properly managed, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property can be some of your most valuable assets. But in the hands of a competitor, intellectual property can be a formidable threat to the competitiveness, profitability, and even the very existence of your business. Our intellectual property attorneys are experienced in all facets of intellectual property prosecution and protection.

Recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® in Patent Law, contact Tom Miller and Brent Matthias to learn more.

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.

Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
