“Benesch has been my home for nearly 30 years. I am humbled and honored by our partners’ continued trust in me,” said Gregg. “I am so proud of what we have built together, from the culture to our first-class client experience program. As always, our clients and their businesses remain our top priority, and I look forward to us continuing to deliver the highest quality service possible as we grow to meet their expanding needs.”

Under Gregg’s leadership, Benesch has earned numerous prestigious accolades and recognitions, including from Chambers, Benchmark Litigation, Vault, Legal 500, Best Law Firms and many more. Additionally, Gregg drives the firm’s commitment to culture, acknowledged by Newsweek—which has named Benesch a Top 100 Most Loved Workplace for two consecutive years—and The Chicago Tribune, The Plain Dealer, Columbus CEO and NorthCoast 99, which continue to recognize Benesch as a top workplace in its markets.

Gregg’s leadership has provided proof of concept that we can balance our growth strategy with sustaining our culture and continuing to elevate our economic stature. We’re excited for what’s to come in his next term.”

In addition to serving as Managing Partner, Gregg maintains an active corporate practice representing some of the largest and most active corporate buyers and private equity firms in the country.
