2017 Forty Attorneys Under 40

Tacy Flint in just her short legal career has become one of the go-to lawyers in the Chicago area for appellate matters with the highest stakes. And during this time, she has built an appellate practice and track record that would be the envy of many lawyers boasting far more years of experience.

Today, Flint is one of the leading members of Sidley Austin’s Supreme Court and Appellate litigation practice area team. In this role, she has taken on cases involving intellectual property, antitrust issues, securities, federal preemption, federal jurisdiction and First Amendment issues.

It’s led to a career that has been as varied as it has been successful.

“Tacy has a stellar reputation as an appellate advocacy superstar,” said Sarah Konsky, director of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Clinic at the University of Chicago Law School. “Her briefs stand out because Tacy crafts a compelling narrative, intertwining the facts of the case with key legal precedents to create a cohesive articulation of her client’s position.”
