February 25, 2026 – Boston, MA – We are proud to announce that Legal 500 has recognized three of Caldwell's attorneys for outstanding legal expertise and leadership in the Boston market as part of the inaugural Legal 500 US Elite 2026 rankings, the first edition of this new recognition for leading lawyers in major U.S. business centers.
Legal 500 US Elite highlights leading lawyers operating at the top of their respective local markets outside of the global elite firms, based on extensive independent research, peer and client feedback, and demonstrated performance.
Individual Recognitions
Partners Charles Dresser and Steve Wang have each been ranked Tier 1 in Intellectual Property (Boston Elite), highlighting the depth and sophistication of Caldwell's IP practice.

We also congratulate Jameson Pasek, Director of Litigation, for ranking among the leading lawyers in Commercial Litigation (Boston Elite). Jameson represents executives, technology companies, and financial institutions in high-stakes commercial disputes, including securities, trade secret, and M&A litigation matters.
