* Crain’s…
A group of partners have left the firm founded by long-established politico Gery Chico to start their own practice.
As a smaller office, the new firm, called Leach King Klinger Law, or LKK Law, will be able to offer better client service, said Tim King, one of the founding partners.
“We are a tighter group,” King told Crain’s in an interview. “We are hands-on, and it is kind of a changing of the guard.”
* From the actual press release…
Attorneys Jon Leach, Tim King and Bill Klinger announce the launch of Leach | King | Klinger Law LLC (LKK Law), a full-service law firm providing legal, lobbying and business advisory services in Chicago and across the nation. LKK Law brings decades of collective experience from top law firms and executive roles in local government agencies. The firm’s key areas of practice include governmental and regulatory issues, aviation law, litigation, employment law, whistleblower and false claims act cases, real estate and land use and business advisory services.
Leach, King and Klinger are former Partners at Chico & Nunes PC, the boutique firm owned by perennial political candidate and former Mayor Richard M. Daley and Ald. Ed Burke protégé Gery Chico.
Ouch.

Wow. I don’t believe I have ever seen a law firm launch press release like that.

Bring on the hate. But I don’t get what value they derive from trashing the firm they left. I mean, they’re essentially saying “hire us, because we used to work at a real hack firm but we don’t anymore.”

Seems pretty funny to me. Though probably not doing themselves any favors in the long run.

Who the heck wrote that? Very bad form. Not the way to drum up business for your new firm. You look like amateurs.

They seem to have decided against “we are bitter and angry” in favor of “we are snarky and childish.” Not sure who that will appeal to.

I dunno, it might be if you’re looking for a certain type of client.

Sounds like the perfect law firm for Pat Quinn to apply to.

How long before they receive a WH EO?
