Lateral Testimonials

"I made a lateral move to U&H without a significant amount of business, but with a mandate and opportunity to develop the firm's practice in my specialty area. The ride has been fun and, thankfully, successful. It is one of the great rewards of practicing here that we not only enjoy professional success, but that we are able to help create and to vicariously enjoy the successes of other laterals who have followed a similar path."

Tom Fahey - Managing Parter

"During more than a decade in-house with a Fortune 20 corporation, I found myself again and again returning to Ungaretti & Harris for some of the company’s important litigation and other legal work. Ungaretti & Harris had knowledgeable attorneys and delivered attentive personal service. When I decided to return to private practice, my decision was easy. I wanted to practice at the same kind of firm that I had hired – Ungaretti & Harris."

Ethan Trull - Litigation Partner

My decision to join U&H came about because I wanted to return to an environment where I could develop a cooperative and supportive working relationship with my colleagues as we provide responsive services to our clients. This promotes a team approach to the delivery of legal services. Our clients know that when they select U&H they will have a coordinated team of attorneys who know the client's business and bring value not only in our knowledge of legal issues but also in providing important business counseling.

Steve Banghart - Healthcare Partner

When our previous firm merged with a larger one, our practice group opted instead to join Ungaretti & Harris. My view is that a mid-sized firm can be more responsive and flexible to clients' needs as well as market conditions. I have found this to be true at Ungaretti & Harris. This has been a great move--for me, for our practice group, and for our clients.

Roger Stein - Intellectual Property Department Chair

"The lateral move to U&H has proven to be the right choice for me. U&H gave me the opportunity to continue to grow my business while also providing the resources and support to achieve that goal. It's been a rewarding and successful partnership."

Tina Solis - Litigation Partner

"I joined Ungaretti & Harris to take advantage of the sophisticated legal talent that was available and needed to service my emerging client base. Ungaretti & Harris provided the highest level of quality at the optimum size that met the needs of my clients."

Gary Levenstein - Corporate, Securities & Finance Department Chair

"I came to U&H after practicing for 26 years at another Chicago firm which had become a large international firm with over 1,000 attorneys. I came here because I believed that my mid-sized client base would be a better fit with U&H's size and practice orientation. The fit is even better than I thought it would be, and as a result my practice has grown substantially since I joined U&H. To boot, the practice and client service at U&H are of the highest quality, which has helped tremendously in retaining existing clients and drawing new ones to the firm."
