In a significant development for its Midwest operations, Willkie Farr & Gallagher’s Chicago office has now surpassed the milestone of 100 lawyers. This expansion aligns with the firm’s strategy, articulated by Craig Martin, Willkie’s Midwest office leader, to recruit “A-plus practitioners” in key locations where the firm already holds a strong market position. This growth in personnel underscores Willkie’s commitment to bolstering its presence and capabilities in Chicago, a city that serves as an important legal hub for both national and international cases.
This latest increase follows a trend of Willkie’s strategic lateral hiring aimed at enhancing its services and competitive positioning. The expansion is consistent with the firm’s broader objective to strengthen its legal prowess in regions where it is already well-established.
