Two Chicago firms are becoming one, as full-service midsize firm Much Shelist absorbs six-lawyer Bronson & Kahn, effective June 1.

Bronson & Kahn’s lawyers and two staff members will relocate to Much Shelist’s Chicago office. The smaller firm, which focuses on real estate and corporate law, was founded 25 years ago by Dan Bronson and Harlan Kahn. The firm had eight lawyers, but two will not be making the move to Much Shelist.
