Chicago

Overview

Crowell & Moring’s Chicago office is home to a dynamic and experienced team of litigation, transactional, and regulatory lawyers. Led by managing partner Jason Stiehl, our team leverages deep scientific and industry knowledge to guide clients through a business landscape transformed by constant innovation and evolving regulation.

The office opened its doors in 2021 with a strong base in intellectual property and technology law. Since then, we have strategically expanded to meet the evolving needs of clients in the Midwest and worldwide, including growth across our Corporate, Government Contracts, and Health Care groups. In 2025, we significantly bolstered our capabilities in the health care sector with the addition of 25 highly regarded health care lawyers led by accomplished trial lawyer Martin J. Bishop.

Building on this strategic growth, in fall 2025, the Chicago office moved into a new, fully renovated space at 300 N. LaSalle in the River North neighborhood.

The Chicago office prides itself on its deep and lasting connections with the local community. The firm serves as a corporate work study partner for Cristo Rey Jesuit High School on Chicago’s Lower West Side, providing students with valuable mentorship and work experience. We also provide mentorship to students at Legal Prep Charter Academy, a legal-themed public high school on the city’s West Side. The office supports numerous other local initiatives through pro bono service, event sponsorship, and Crowell & Moring Foundation grants.

  • Crowell & Moring’s Chicago office has deep midwestern roots and a long-standing commitment to the surrounding community. We partner with local legal aid agencies on a number of fronts, including: assisting residents in housing court that are facing improper evictions; acting as court-appointed guardians to represent the interests of minors; and providing legal advice to artists and art organizations.

    We are also active in local pipeline development initiatives. Since the founding of Legal Prep in 2012, the Chicago office has supported Legal Prep Charter Academies. Legal Prep is a free, open-enrollment high school with mostly Black students that was founded to inspire young people and increase the diversity of the legal profession and judiciary. Every year, our attorneys volunteer to teach Legal Prep’s high school students in a mock trial course, which provides several benefits to students, including improving their written and oral communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and advocacy skills. Through this immersive exercise, Crowell volunteers guide students to a deeper understanding of the various stages that make up a trial.

NAIC Intensifies AI Regulatory Focus: What Health Insurance Payors Need to Know

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is intensifying its oversight of how insurers use AI — and the pace of regulatory activity shows no signs of slowing. Over the past several months, the NAIC has published a formal Issue Brief staking out its position on federal AI legislation, launched a multistate AI Evaluation Tool pilot aimed at examining insurers’ AI governance programs, and continued to expand adoption of its AI Model Bulletin across state lines. These developments continue a trend towards enhancing regulation; the NAIC adopted AI Principles in 2020 and a Model Bulletin in 2023 clarifying that existing insurance laws apply to AI systems and establishing expectations for governance, documentation, testing, and third-party oversight. That Model Bulletin has now been adopted in approximately 24 states....
