Ice Miller LLP is pleased to announce that Maureen Maffei is joining as of counsel, on Jan. 1, 2017. The addition brings the Firm’s Illinois presence to approximately 45 attorneys. The attorneys will join Ice Miller from The Coman Law Group, P.C., which was formerly known as Coman & Anderson, P.C.

“Having worked together in a close-knit firm, these attorneys join us with a commitment to client service that’s consistent with Ice Miller’s core values,” said John Burke, a managing partner of Ice Miller. “Their extensive backgrounds and experience brings value to clients who rely on our Business, Tax, Real Estate and Employment and Immigration groups. And for current clients of The Coman Law Group, we believe they will find the same highly effective legal representation they have enjoyed at Coman—but now with a broader array of services.”

“The addition allows us to provide our clients with deeper levels of service, knowledge and experience,” said Dave Hight, office managing partner in Ice Miller’s DuPage County office. “As we continue to expand the scope of services in our DuPage County and Chicago offices, we are thrilled to welcome five attorneys with strong local ties, yet who also work with clients far beyond Illinois.”

“We look forward to continuing to represent our current middle-market clients, as well as helping new clients build, grow and protect their interests,” added Dan Coman.

Maureen Maffei is of counsel in Ice Miller’s Labor, Employment and Immigration group, with a focus on counseling employers regarding employee handbooks, employee contracts, separation agreements, FLMA, FLSA, and general personnel issues, including employee investigations and best practices audits. Maureen has represented private employers in matters pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Illinois Department of Labor, the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the Illinois Human Rights Commission and the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
