Corporate litigation and restructuring are among Big Law’s most popular practice areas for onboarding lateral talent in the closing weeks of 2020 as firms seek to leverage veteran industry expertise amid uncertain economic conditions.

New York-based Proskauer Rose beefed up its Chicago litigation team this week with its 12th lateral hire of 2020, hiring attorney Todd Ohlms. The litigator comes from Freeborn & Peters, where he was a partner and co-chair of the private equity, portfolio company and litigation practice groups.
