Chicago

Ulmer & Berne LLP, a 101-year old Midwest regional law firm headquartered in Cleveland, in February signed a lease to occupy more than 18,000 square feet of office space in Chicago's Citigroup Center at 500 W. Madison St.

The new space in the Citigroup Center can accommodate 30 attorneys plus legal staff, and represents the second phase of the 175-attorney firm's Chicago expansion strategy.

Ulmer & Berne is scheduled to occupy its new Chicago office in April.
In September 2009, Ulmer & Berne substantially expanded its presence in Chicago, increasing the office's attorney headcount from two to eight with the addition of a group of litigators that included partners Randall Lehner from Reed Smith LLP and Scott Meyers and David Porteous from Levenfeld Pearlstein LLC.
