Porter Wright Accelerates Chicago Market Growth with Strategic Attorney Additions

Four-attorney team bolsters firm's rapidly growing litigation and intellectual property practices and Chicago presence

CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP is pleased to announce that four attorneys from the Chicago-based litigation boutique Scandaglia Law LLP have joined the firm, significantly enhancing the firm's capabilities in complex commercial litigation, antitrust and competition law, hospitality law and intellectual property. The group will be based in Porter Wright's Chicago office and includes litigators with experience in high-stakes disputes across a wide range of industries.

This group's addition marks a major milestone in Porter Wright's strategic growth in Chicago, the firm's fastest-growing office since entering the market in 2019 through a merger with Butler Rubin Saltarelli & Boyd LLP.

"We are excited to welcome this outstanding group of attorneys to our firm," said Bob Tannous, managing partner at Porter Wright. "They bring an impressive track record of success along with deep experience serving high-level clients in Chicago and across the country. Their arrival strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive counsel to clients navigating today's most complex legal challenges."

The group includes:

• Greg Scandaglia, who founded and previously led his own firm, Scandaglia Law, for more than 20 years, is bringing his team to Porter Wright. Greg began his career as a prosecutor in the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, and was a partner at a large international law firm before co-founding his own firm. During his career, Greg has served as lead trial counsel in high-stakes and high-profile civil trials, criminal prosecutions and appeals. His practice spans commercial litigation, white collar criminal defense, antitrust law and more.
• Therese L. Tully, an attorney with over 25 years of experience, is known for her strategic approach, creative problem-solving and commitment to client advocacy in complex commercial litigation. She counsels clients in areas such as hospitality, real estate, intellectual property, commercial contracts, insurance coverage and partnership disputes.
• Eric J. Muñoz, a commercial litigator with extensive experience in hotel and hospitality litigation, real estate and commercial foreclosure litigation, intellectual property litigation, employment disputes, appellate matters, breach of contract, business and partnership disputes, transportation and logistics litigation and antitrust compliance among trade associations.
• Joseph R. Swee, who handles a range of contract, fiduciary duty, business tort and other commercial litigation disputes, represents owners of luxury hospitality properties in dealings and disputes with brand management companies, insurers and others, and counsels large companies in the financial services and food and beverage industries on matters ranging from restrictive covenant to supplier disputes.

Since its founding in 2001, Scandaglia Law has built a strong reputation for delivering exceptional legal service across a wide range of complex litigation matters. Guided by a commitment to strategic thinking, efficient execution and deep client engagement, the firm earned the trust of clients and achieved success in high-profile disputes across the country. Joining Porter Wright reflects a natural evolution, allowing the team to continue that legacy with expanded resources and a broader platform for serving clients nationwide.

This expansion underscores Porter Wright's momentum in Chicago, a market where the firm has steadily increased its attorney headcount and service offerings. With the total addition of 10 new attorneys in 2025 in Chicago, the firm has added significant depth in litigation and intellectual property.

"Chicago has quickly become one of our firm's fastest-growing and most dynamic offices," said Kevin O'Brien, partner-in-charge of Porter Wright's Chicago office. "This group's arrival builds on our strength and helps solidify our position as a go-to firm in the region."
