Benesch
About
Practice/Organization Description Benesch is an Am Law 200 business law firm and limited liability partnership with more than 450 attorneys and offices in Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, New York City, San Francisco and Wilmington, DE. The firm is known for providing highly sophisticated legal services to national and international clients that include public and private, middle market and emerging companies, as well as private equity funds, entrepreneurs, and not-for-profit organizations. We develop client-focused teams to ensure first-class legal service, provide diverse and knowledgeable perspectives on business issues and better apply the firm’s collective strength and experience to our clients’ advantage. We have had extraordinary success in welcoming many new attorneys to Benesch over the past several years, including opening a Chicago office (now roughly 140 attorneys strong); and establishing offices in San Francisco and New York City (which has grown to more than 45 attorneys after opening its doors in 2023). Many of our new attorneys are highly accomplished partners who have joined us from “Big Law” firms, such as Skadden, Jones Day, Kirkland & Ellis, Mayer Brown, Baker & Hostetler, Sheppard Mullin, Winston & Strawn, Reed Smith, Foley & Lardner and Squire Patton Boggs, bringing even more depth and breadth to our practices. These 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. Our services in areas such as class action litigation, private equity, products liability, securities litigation, real estate, energy, intellectual property litigation and labor and employment, among others, have expanded substantially as a result of our recent growth.
