Barry Solomon has left Sidley Austin, where he served a six-year stint as chief marketing officer, to serve as president of the Chicago-based Foundation Software Group (FSG), a 6-year-old company that develops what it dubs as next-generation enterprise software solutions for law firms.

“I love being part of something great,” said Solomon, who began his career as a Sidley associate before leaving the practice of law to get into the legal marketing and sales business about a decade ago.
