Growing Chicago Firm Launched by Big Law alums Taps Ex-Counsel to Lightfoot
“A Chicago firm launched by a group of Big Law vets a year and a half ago has brought on a former advisor and legal counsel to Mayor Lori Lightfoot who helped negotiate an end to the city’s 14-day public schools strike in 2019,” reports David Thomas in Thomson Reuters Westlaw Today.
“Michael Frisch will lead Croke Fairchild Morgan & Beres’ government litigation and investigations practice. Like his new colleagues, Frisch has a Big Law background: He worked at Mayer Brown for seven years before joining the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in 2015.”
“His tenure at Mayer Brown led to his gig for the city of Chicago – Lightfoot, a partner at the firm, was his friend and mentor. He worked on her mayoral campaign and the transition in 2019.”
