Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • LP added John Edwards on October 20, 2026, deepening M&A and private equity capabilities.
  • LP advised HBK on H.I.G. Capital’s September 1, 2026 strategic growth investment.
  • Best Law Firms named LP Tier 1 in 2027, strengthening recruiting and client trust.

What critics are saying

  • LP’s 2026 growth depends on expensive lateral partners, not durable proprietary demand.
  • Big-law rivals can poach LP rainmakers like John Edwards and litigation hires by 2027.
  • Chicago concentration leaves LP vulnerable if one major practice group loses two partners; growth stalls.

What makes Levenfeld Pearlstein unique

  • LP combines real estate, restructuring, IP, and corporate work from one Chicago platform.
  • Chambers USA ranked LP’s real estate, restructuring, and IP practices in Illinois, 2026.
  • GGI Alliance membership extends LP’s reach internationally for cross-border clients and matters.
