I am pleased to announce that on February 1, 2009, I became Of Counsel to Futterman Howard Watkins Wylie & Ashley, Chtd. a Chicago based litigation boutique. They are a great group of lawyers and I look forward to practicing with them. I have been pretty busy since then and was pretty busy leading up to my joining the firm, so my posting has unfortunately lagged. I hope that as I settle in, I can begin posting again.
