Chicago

The Chicago office of Sidley Austin LLP traces its origins back to 1866. The firm has grown with the city, and for many years has been among the largest, most well known, and best-respected firms in Chicago.

The Chicago office currently consists of over 580 lawyers, working across a broad range of practice disciplines encompassing most areas of the law. While many Chicago firms offer strong practices in one area, or perhaps several, no firm offers greater strength and depth than Sidley across the full spectrum of what large law firms do for their clients.

Chicago litigators work on cases ranging from relatively small disputes to "bet-the-company" cases for large corporate clients. Our transactions practice challenges our lawyers with innovative work opportunities for a wide variety of business clients. Lawyers in a number of practice groups handle engagements transcending the boundary between litigation and transactions.

Because the Chicago office is an integral part of a major full-service practice, our lawyers are involved in substantial matters at the cutting edge of the law. New associates have the opportunity to assume front-line responsibility, do top-notch legal work and deal directly with clients at an early stage in their careers.
