Levick and his firm have counseled companies and countries during the highest-profile crises, including significant matters arising from the financial crisis of 2008; the largest data security breach in history; front-page product recalls such as spinach, pet food, and toys; and the most historic U.S. antitrust and European competition cases.

"I am honored and humbled to be included on such a blue-chip list of honorees -- the best and brightest in their fields," Levick said.
