Michael Best is pleased to announce that Jorge Leon, Partner and Sub-Group Co-Leader of Employee Benefits, has been selected as a 2026 Notable Leader in Accounting, Consulting, & Law by Crain’s Chicago Business, highlighting his client service excellence and meaningful contributions to the legal profession.
Leon is a trusted advisor to boards, executives, and fiduciaries confronting complex, high-stakes legal and business challenges. He is frequently engaged when issues are novel, sensitive, or consequential—particularly where compensation, benefits, governance, regulatory risk, and enterprise strategy intersect.
At the forefront of emerging fiduciary issues, including ERISA cybersecurity and litigation risk mitigation, Leon has been entrusted with the design, oversight, and defense of health and welfare programs, executive compensation arrangements, and retirement plans for public, private, and nonprofit organizations. As a boardroom insider, he enjoys the confidence of directors, compensation committees, and C-suite leaders and is valued for his judgment, clarity, and ability to translate complexity into actionable solutions.
