Megan Fahey Monty named a 40 Under Forty 2024 Honoree

Cooney & Conway is proud to share that our attorney, Megan Fahey Monty was named to the Law Bulletin Media’s “40 Under Forty” list for 2024. This year marked the 25th Anniversary of the 40 Under Forty award, which recognizes 40 attorneys in the state of Illinois who have demonstrated at an early age that they are among the best young lawyers in the state. Over 1,000 nominations were received this year.

Megan's nominators spoke highly of her, saying: 

  • “Fahey Monty has continued her commitment to putting her clients’ needs first and getting to know them as people rather than just cases in a file.” 
  • “Megan always treats clients with the utmost respect so they not only feel seen and heard but know that they are being well taken care of.” 
  • “She supports her clients every step of the way and obtains life-changing results.”

Megan works extensively on the plaintiff's side of asbestos cases, where she advocates zealously for her clients. She also takes on a wide variety of cases from toxic tort to sexual abuse matters. During her career, Megan has worked on several injury cases that have resolved in excess of $1 million. 

"Cooney and Conway is incredibly proud to congratulate Megan on her well deserved recognition as one of Illinois’ top lawyers under forty. Megan exemplifies the best of what it means to be a dedicated, compassionate and skilled attorney. We are fortunate to have her as part of our team and look forward for her continued success." - Charles Porretta, Cooney & Conway Managing Partner
