Eight Jones Day lawyers are named as 2017 BTI Client Service All-Stars in the BTI Consulting Group survey of corporate counsel and other legal services decision makers.
The survey identifies lawyers who possess a rare combination of outstanding legal skills, innovative thought leadership, practical business knowledge, extraordinary attention to client needs, and a record of delivering outstanding results.
Jones Day lawyers named as 2017 BTI Client Service All-Stars include:
- John M. Allan, Atlanta, Tax
- Bradley C. Brasser, Chicago, Capital Markets
- Lyle G. Ganske, Cleveland, M&A

Messrs. Leddy and Solecki were also awarded "MVP" status for being named a Client Service All-Star in consecutive years. Mr. Leddy was named an All-Star for 2016 and 2017, while Mr. Solecki was honored for 2015, 2016, and 2017. Mr. Ganske was named an All-Star for the third time, having previously made the survey in 2009 and 2010.
Ms. Lesnick was awarded All-Star, MVP, and "Super All-Star" designation, the Super All-Star distinction resulting from being named by multiple clients in the survey. Ms. Lesnick was one of only five lawyers to earn all three of these designations.
