About Us

With the addition of an office in Chicago, Baker Hostetler has expanded its capabilities in such key legal areas as commercial litigation and corporate work. Our Chicago-based attorneys handle a variety of complex legal matters for companies headquartered in—or with business interests in—this continually robust market.

Corporate

Our Corporate team attorneys in Chicago serve as counsel to private equity and venture capital funds, large privately held businesses and small to medium-size public companies. We regularly handle buyouts and recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions and investment and finance matters. We also manage a variety of corporate issues faced by emerging companies across a wide spectrum of industries.

Litigation

The Chicago office Litigation team represents the interests of public and private companies in such industries as banking, construction, technology, software, entertainment, real estate, consumer products, printing and manufacturing.

As part of their client representation, our Chicago attorneys regularly interface with local elected officials and governing bodies as well as with the executive, legal and judicial branches of Illinois state government—providing direct insight into the political and economic issues inherent to the city, the state and the region.
