We have had extraordinary success in welcoming many new attorneys to Benesch over the past several years, including opening a Chicago office (now more than 120 attorneys strong) and establishing offices in San Francisco and New York. The vast majority of our new attorneys are highly accomplished partners who have joined us from AmLaw 50 firms, bringing additional depth and breadth to our practices. These BigLaw attorneys joined Benesch to be part of the exciting growth, entrepreneurial spirit and ability to service clients by providing elite talent under a sustainable cost structure that eliminates unnecessary overhead.
