Former Chicago Mayor Joins Katten Muchin
Attorneys News
Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who stepped down last month after serving six terms, joined the law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP.
Daley, 69, will serve as counsel at Katten and won't participate in any work involving the city or any of its affiliated agencies, the firm said today in a statement.
"I chose Katten for a number of reasons," Daley said in the statement. "They have an innovative yet practical approach to helping clients accomplish their goals, and they are expanding globally."
Daley was mayor of the third-largest U.S. city for 22 years beginning in 1989, following in the footsteps of his father Richard J. Daley, who was mayor from 1955 to 1976. Under the younger Daley's leadership, Chicago lured Boeing Corp. and United Continental Holdings Inc. corporate headquarters to the city and built Millennium Park.
"His advice and counsel will be invaluable," Vincent Sergi, Katten's national managing partner, said in today's statement.
The University of Chicago said May 24 that Daley would join as a senior fellow for five years beginning July 1 and will coordinate a series of guest lectures at the Harris School of Public Policy Studies.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
