The route between Chicago and New York is well-trod territory for many Big Law firms, with firms from one metropolis finding a way into the other for decades. Wednesday saw two more deals join that list.
Freeborn & Peters, a 140-lawyer firm based in Chicago, announced its first New York office with the addition of five-lawyer Hargraves, McConnell & Costigan. And Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck, a New York-based firm with 129 lawyers across the country, bolstered its Windy City presence by acquiring 15-lawyer boutique Baugh Dalton.
