CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Honigman LLP announced today that Robert Palmersheim has returned to its Chicago office after serving as a founding partner at Palmersheim & Mathew LLP for over four years. He joins Honigman as a partner in the firm’s Litigation practice.

Prior to founding his own law firm, Palmersheim was a partner at Honigman for nearly four years. Joining him is Associate Timothy Parilla, who has worked alongside Palmersheim since 2019.

"Robert has always been an invaluable member of the Honigman family, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him return after his successful venture of running his own boutique law firm in Chicago,” said Honigman CEO and Chair David Foltyn. “We are also pleased to welcome his associate Tim Parilla and are excited to see what new insights and perspectives they will bring to the firm.”

“After starting my own law firm, I continued to work with Honigman on several matters, including a substantial plaintiffs’ antitrust lawsuit that we settled last year,” said Palmersheim. “The firm’s dedication to its client service is unmatched, and I am honored to have the opportunity to return and collaborate with such talented colleagues once again. I look forward to the great work and results we will continue to achieve together.”
