Arriving in 2002, Perkins Coie has slowly built its Chicago office to 65 attorneys. Though still less than half the size of Latham & Watkins’ Chicago office, the Seattle-based firm is making steps to becoming a top player in the Windy City. Its most recent hires include two associates from Jenner & Block, as well as a patent litigator from Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw. Looking to expand, the firm hopes to grow to over 100 lawyers in the next 18 months.
