Welcome to another edition of our Litigation Leaders series, featuring the litigation practice leaders at some of the biggest and most innovative law firms in the country. 

Meet Jason Leckerman, the chair of what was until recently a 240-lawyer litigation department at Ballard Spahr. The addition of litigators via the firm’s merger with Lane Powell, which took hold at the turn of year, increased that total by about a third, to more than 340. Leckerman, who is based in Philadelphia, has a broad practice that includes antitrust and competition, product liability and commercial litigation work. He also counsels clients on compliance and risk matters.
