Law Firm Eversheds Sutherland Will Open Chicago Office with CRE Focus

Law firm Eversheds Sutherland said it will open a Chicago office, its first new U.S. office since the 2017 merger of Eversheds and Sutherland Asbill & Brennan.

The 900 N. Michigan Ave. office will represent the first Midwest presence for Eversheds Sutherland, although it has served clients in the region for decades.

“We plan for Chicago to become a significant focal point for us,” said Mark D. Wasserman, co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland. The office will focus initially on real estate, M&A and litigation work.

The Chicago office will be led by Marc A. Benjamin, a veteran real estate lawyer who will join from White & Case. Joining Benjamin will be Susan V. Kai, a real estate lawyer who will join from Kirkland & Ellis, and litigator Robert D. Owen, a partner with Eversheds Sutherland who is relocating from New York.
