“Ali is a dedicated and well-respected attorney and we are very excited to welcome her to the firm,” said James Sawyer, Chicago office leader. “Her experience in high stakes, complex disputes and internal investigations combined with her track record of creating winning, diverse teams is going to benefit the firm and clients in the Midwest and beyond.”
