Rock Fusco & Connelly, LLC

Rock Fusco & Connelly, LLC has found itself in a unique situation where it can provide top-level expertise while charging a fraction of what the big firms demand. Created from the merger of Rock Fusco, LLC and The Connelly Law Group, the firm has a staff of over 30 employees and has established itself as a leading firm in corporate, municipal, and civil affairs. Municipal entities such as the City of Chicago and various other counties and municipalities have turned to RFC for its legal expertise, as well as dozens of closely held and publicly traded companies using the firm as legal counsel for all their legal needs.

Since the recession, corporate clients have been looking for ways to receive more value for their legal expenses, and Rock Fusco & Connelly, LLC is a perfect example of one way in which they can do that. After the 2008 recession, the majority of large firms suffered through massive layoffs and internal restructuring. This has led to corporate law departments cutting their spending on outside legal counsel rather than raising it, and instead of treating large firms as one-stop shops, they increasingly are willing to disperse their legal business among different players, seeking the best deal for the same services.

The attorneys at Rock Fusco & Connelly, LLC are pursuing this strategy, with its division of lawyers focusing on a variety of practice areas, such as business litigation disputes, labor and employment issues, and also commercial and intellectual property transactional work. The firm has been able to garner such business by capitalizing on established networks of colleagues as well as a favorable marketplace, offering good quality legal representation at an effective and economical rate.
