Polsinelli to Open in Philadelphia With Over 20 Shareholders

Polsinelli is pleased to announce that a group of more than 20 shareholders is expected to join Polsinelli in the coming weeks to open an office in Philadelphia, immediately establishing a major presence for Polsinelli in the city and expanding the firm’s nationwide footprint to 24 offices across the country. This is Polsinelli’s third new office this year, further underscoring the firm’s meteoric rise in the Am Law 100. In just over a decade, Polsinelli has jumped more than 50 spots in the annual ranking by The American Lawyer, making it one of the fastest rising firms on the top 100 list.

The attorneys’ practices will complement Polsinelli’s existing capabilities and range from employee benefits and executive compensation, employee stock ownership plans (ESOP), financial services, mergers and acquisitions to litigation and labor and employment, significantly strengthening Polsinelli’s market position across key practice areas. Notably, it will create one of the premier executive compensation and ESOP practices in the country.

“Philadelphia was a missing piece in our platform as one of the largest full-service U.S.-only firms. We could not be more excited to welcome this talented group to our firm in the coming weeks and lead our launch into Philadelphia. They are deeply embedded in the life sciences, health care, energy and financial services sectors, which makes them an ideal fit for us. Their addition is by far the strongest market entrance we have ever conducted,” said Chase Simmons, Chairman & CEO of Polsinelli. “This group has the leadership skills and culture fit that we were looking for as we studied the market. Our client service philosophies are perfectly aligned, and I am looking forward to seeing this team thrive at Polsinelli.”
