    Cole Quoted in Chicago Lawyer Magazine
    General News
    Alex Cole was quoted in Chicago Lawyer Magazine in an article titled, "Bust. Now boom?," addressing a Chicago’s real estate market. Like the industry they represent, real estate lawyers are accustomed to dealing with volatile business conditions. The market goes up, then it goes down. But with the recession in the rearview mirror and some major projects on the horizon, prospects seem to be rising.

    Cole Quoted in Chicago Lawyer
    General News
    Seattle’s best…in Chicago
    Alex Cole was quoted in Chicago Lawyer in an article addressing the history and growth of the Chicago office of Perkins Coie. Founded in Seattle in 1912, Perkins Coie has leveraged its legacy incorporating, and then representing, The Boeing Co. to now name as clients a wide swathe of today’s highest-tech companies — Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Intel and more. It has brought what is often described as an open, amenable culture — complete with a “no jerks” rule (well, that’s the G-rated version) — to 20 offices across the country and Asia, now housing more than 900 lawyers.
