Greg LeitnerA national law firm with nearly 700 attorneys is opening a regional office in Chattanooga.
Four attorneys, led by longtime local attorney Greg Leitner, have joined Polsinelli and are working out of a Warehouse Row office. Polsinelli has offices in 16 cities across the United States and focuses on business, real estate, high-end litigation and financing transactions.
Leitner, who previously worked at Husch Eppenberger and Leitner and Williams, said Polsinelli’s leadership and rate of growth persuaded him to head up the new office in the Scenic City.
“If you’re a company in East Tennessee and you have business in LA or New York City, you may not want to pay a lawyer $1,000 an hour and use someone you don’t know,” he said. “So you could call someone here to manage it, with better pricing, and avoid getting lost in the shuffle.”
Polsinelli was named the fastest growing law firm in the United States during the last five years by The American Lawyer and is well-known for handling health care cases.
