International law firm Akin announced it is opening a Chicago office with four partners who joined from Mayer Brown earlier this year. The Chicago office will be located at 190 S. LaSalle Street.
The launch is led by a four-partner team that recently arrived at Akin from Mayer Brown, including Wendy Gallegos, who will serve as partner-in-charge of the Chicago office. “With our new office in Chicago, we’re expanding the reach of Akin’s premier integrated platform while delivering bespoke solutions for clients,” said Gallegos. Akin’s Chicago team also includes Jason Wagenmaker, Jessica Pan, and Joshua La Vigne.
“Our opening in Chicago adds elite talent to our growing investment management and M&A teams with the addition of a highly talented real estate funds team and leading infrastructure M&A practice,” said Abid Qureshi, Akin’s co-chair. “The group is a perfect complement to our transactional offering, and our clients will benefit from their skillsets.”
