Dan Webb

Age: 68

Occupation: Chairman, Winston & Strawn

This former U.S. attorney remains the go-to litigator for white-collar defendants across the land. As the special prosecutor, Webb won a major victory in January when a judge refused to dismiss the manslaughter case against Richard Vanecko, the nephew of former mayor Richard M. Daley. (Vanecko pleaded guilty on January 31.)
