Chicago– November 29, 2023 – Dykema, a leading national law firm, today announced the addition of Christopher Cahill as a Senior Counsel in the firm’s Corporate and Finance Practice Group resident in the firm’s Chicago office. Cahill joins Dykema from Aegis Law and after practicing as a Partner with L&G Law Group, LLP for more than a decade.
In his practice, Cahill guides businesses to help optimize their relationships with vendors, customers, and lenders for enhanced market presence, returns, and liquidity. He led the Bankruptcy groups at his two previous firms, representing principally lenders, creditor manufacturers, and commodity suppliers. Earlier in his career, Cahill represented mega-debtors, asset purchasers, and most categories of creditors with national law firms.

He has also represented multiple national and international suppliers in drafting and revising sales contracts and terms and conditions, as well as handling sales disputes. In addition, Cahill has experience serving as outside general counsel for companies in several industries, including an automobile manufacturing supply chain.
“We are excited to have someone of Chris’ caliber with his proven experience join our firm,” said Harry Arger, Managing Member of Dykema’s Chicago office. “He will be a tremendous benefit and a valuable resource to the firm and its clients. Not only does Chris bring a wealth of experience in business matters, but he is also a leader in the Chicago community.”

He served on the Board of Directors for “Lawyers Land a Hand to Youth,” a Chicago-based organization providing tutoring to grade school children from disadvantaged communities. He has also held board positions with the TUTA Theatre Company and Baroque Band.
