Some leaders are defined by the titles they hold. Others are defined by the moments when their leadership matters most.
For decades, Levin and Perconti Managing Partners Michael Bonamarte and Margaret Battersby Black have built their careers around those moments.
The moments when a family needs answers.
When a vulnerable population needs someone willing to stand in the fight.
When preparation, persistence, and passion make all the difference.
Their leadership extends far beyond the courtroom. It is reflected in the attorneys they mentor, the teams they build, and the standard they continue to set for trial advocacy in Chicago.
We are proud to share that Margaret and Mike were featured in Modern Luxury Chicago’s 2026 Power Players issue, recognizing leaders who are shaping their industries and communities.
The legal profession demands more than knowledge. It demands judgment, resilience, and the ability to lead when the stakes are highest.
Congratulations to Margaret and Mike, and to all of the incredible leaders recognized this year.
