Jaime Simon Named to Chicago Daily Law Bulletin’s 2026 “40 Under Forty” List

The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin has named Jaime Simon to its 2026 “40 Under Forty” list, which recognizes leading Illinois attorneys under the age of 40.

In its profile, the publication highlighted Jaime’s ability to distill complex evidence into clear, compelling narratives and her leadership in high-stakes trials. Among her recent accomplishments, Jaime served as trial captain for Sidley’s team that secured the first-ever complete defense verdict for a pharmaceutical company in a False Claims Act trial.

The profile also recognized Jaime’s work in significant product liability litigation, including her role coordinating multi-firm efforts in a 22-plaintiff PCB exposure action in Washington State. She led preparation for testimony from key scientific experts and was praised by a nominator who worked with Jaime on the litigation for her command of the underlying science and her ability to translate complex scientific evidence into clear, compelling themes that juries could understand and apply.

Jaime represents clients in high-stakes trial and litigation matters, with a particular focus on defending life sciences, pharmaceutical, and other highly regulated companies in product liability, mass tort, and False Claims Act/qui tam actions.
