What Foran Glennon Palandech Ponzi & Rudloff does

Foran Glennon Palandech Ponzi & Rudloff is a US-based insurance-focused law firm founded in 2001, organized as Foran Glennon Palandech Ponzi & Rudloff PC (Illinois professional corporation) and a parallel FG (UK) LLP regulated by the UK Solicitors Regulation Authority. The firm operates six core practice areas: Insurance Coverage, Casualty Defense, Commercial Litigation, Bankruptcy/Insolvency and Creditor's Rights, Medical Malpractice Defense, and Subrogation, with the insurance coverage and subrogation practices serving as the primary revenue drivers.

The firm serves insurance companies (including property and liability carriers as national coordinating counsel), architecture and engineering firms requiring professional liability representation, and other businesses needing commercial litigation and bankruptcy services. It employs 101–250 staff including 60+ named attorneys across 10 offices in Chicago (headquarters), Denver, Irvine, Nashville, New York, Sacramento, San Francisco (Walnut Creek), San Jose, Tampa, and London. Several attorneys hold specialized degrees in accounting and engineering, supporting complex commercial property and reinsurance work.

The firm generates revenue through traditional professional services billing — primarily hourly fees and retainer arrangements — with no publicly disclosed rates or proprietary technology platforms. Marketing is conducted through thought leadership (Law360, IDC Quarterly publications), industry conference speaking engagements (PLRB, WEI, PLI), and a referral/reputation-driven sales motion. The firm has no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or public ownership and is partnership-structured with shareholders holding equity.
