In a move that more than doubles its Windy City presence and adds depth to its office in Wilmington, DE, Fox Rothschild merged with Shaw Fishman Glantz & Towbin, a 23-attorney firm with practices in bankruptcy, commercial litigation and real estate.

“Expanding our Chicago presence has been a pivotal component of our strategic growth focus,” said Mark L. Silow, chair of Fox Rothschild. “We opened our doors in Chicago three years ago, and since then we have assembled a team of talented attorneys who provide a comprehensive range of services: corporate, litigation, gaming, cybersecurity and privacy, technology, cannabis law, intellectual property, real estate and taxation. This merger adds a deep bench of bankruptcy lawyers to bolster our national practice in that arena. Shaw Fishman also has two attorneys in Wilmington who will add strength to our Delaware litigation and bankruptcy practices.”

Over the past several years, Philadelphia-based Fox Rothschild has grown its national footprint significantly. The firm opened in Minneapolis in 2016 via a merger with Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly. In May of 2017, Fox launched a Seattle office through a merger with Riddell Williams.
