April 28, 2011
Benesch’s Public Finance, Real Estate and Construction attorneys represented The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in the development, financing and construction of its new global headquarters complex in Akron, OH, which broke ground earlier this month.
The headquarter project is scheduled to be completed in early 2013 at which time, Goodyear will relocate approximately 2,000 associates into the building.

The Benesch team was lead by Lee Korland, Barry Miller and Howard Steindler, and included Marilyn Dulic, James Friedman, Jean Kerr Korman, and Kevin Margolis.
