Howard London was recently recognized as the 2020 Chicago Family Law “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in America, an honor given to the lawyer with the highest peer review score in a given practice area and metropolitan area. He received the same honor from Best Lawyers in 2018. Mr. London was also listed in Leading Lawyers Magazine as among the Top 10 Family Law attorneys in Illinois in 2016 and 2019 (Ranked No. 2 in 2019) and among the Top 10 Illinois Civil Appellate Law attorneys in 2014. A managing partner at Beermann with over 40 years of matrimonial law experience, Mr. London has handled some of the most high profile and complex matrimonial cases, and his combination of trial and appellate court experience in family law cases—including well over 100 appeals—is unparalleled in the firm. For this reason, one of Mr. London’s important roles at Beermann is to consult and assist on many of the firm’s most challenging cases, in addition to representing his personal clients. Mr. London is trained and experienced in various alternate dispute resolution (ADR) methods—such as mediation and collaborative law—, and he advocates these approaches whenever appropriate to achieve fair settlements in an amicable and cost-effective way. Mr. London has lectured and is widely published on appeals, family law topics, and other legal subjects. He has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America in the categories of family law and appellate practice (2006- to date), as well as by the Leading Lawyers Network in family law, family appellate law and civil appellate law, and in Illinois Super Lawyers (2005-to date). “
