One Of Chicago’s Preeminent Labor and Employment Attorneys

Before establishing his own firm in 2002, Marc spent approximately seven years practicing at a mid-size Chicago management-side boutique labor and employment firm. Since then, he has focused his practice on representing c-suite executives, professionals, and employees in all aspects of their employment relationships.

Marc’s talents and inclinations make him particularly effective at the counseling and negotiating aspects of his practice. His clients reap the benefits of his strategic advocacy and the insightful approaches he takes in high-stakes contract negotiations and settlement discussions. His experience on both sides of the labor and employment table allows him to take a 360-degree view of the negotiation process and facilitates his ability to secure optimal client outcomes in executive compensation matters, employment contracts, severance packages, and other impactful negotiations.

Consistently recognized by his peers for his success, professionalism, and accomplishments, Marc has received consistent and repeated accolades throughout his career. He has been named by Super Lawyers as one of the top 100 lawyers in the State of Illinois in all areas of practice from 2012 – 2019. Leading Lawyer Magazine has honored him as a Leading Lawyer (top 5% of all lawyers) each year since 2012 as well, and Marc was named one of the Law Bulletin’s “40 under 40” (out of more than 1,000 applicants).

Fluent in Spanish, Marc is especially pleased to have successfully represented thousands of Hispanic workers in wage and hour disputes and other employment-related matters.

A highly sought-after speaker at national conferences, legal associations, and universities, Marc teaches lawyers and emerging industry leaders how to get better results, build stronger relationships, and broker deals through impasses that seem impossible to overcome.
