Chicago

Situated on Chicago’s dynamic riverfront with sweeping views of Lake Michigan, Taft’s Chicago office sits at the crossroads of the city’s business, government, and cultural life. Our lawyers bring a broad range of real‑world experience to the table, representing clients from Fortune 500 companies and fast‑growing startups to entrepreneur‑led businesses and state and local governments. Since joining Taft in 2014, the Chicago office has more than doubled in size and is among the largest law firms in the city.

We focus on high‑stakes work in real estate and zoning, gaming, corporate transactions and financings, mergers and acquisitions, private client, government relations, and public finance, as well as complex litigation, including construction, employment, and intellectual property disputes. Aligned with Taft’s collaborative culture, our Chicago lawyers partner seamlessly with colleagues across the firm’s footprint, drawing on Taft’s deep bench of legal talent to deliver practical, business‑focused solutions tailored to each client’s goals.
