CTM Legal Group

What CTM Legal Group does

CTM Legal Group is a privately held, full-service law firm headquartered at 77 W Washington St., Suite 2120, Chicago, Illinois, operating since 2012 as CTM Legal Group, LLC. The firm delivers legal representation across 16 practice areas spanning Commercial Litigation, Consumer Law, Corporate Law, Criminal Law, Debt Defense & Bankruptcy, Divorce, Family Law, Immigration, Labor & Employment, Municipal Law, Personal Injury, Probate, Real Estate, Tenant's Rights, Wills & Trusts, and Workers Compensation. Client segments include working-class individuals and families, small-to-large businesses, labor unions and Taft-Hartley benefit funds, pension funds, and municipalities.

The firm generates revenue primarily through professional services billing — hourly fees, contingency arrangements, and flat-rate engagements — with select freemium acquisition tools including a free one-hour bankruptcy consultation and a complimentary divorce eBook. Underlying technology consists of standard law firm practice management and case management systems; no proprietary technology platform is disclosed. Geographic service delivery is anchored in the Chicago office with extended reach across the United States and internationally through the Alliance of Business Lawyers network of allied law firms.

Operations are organized around a Managing Partner (Bill Tasch) and a bench of partners, senior associates, associates, and of-counsel attorneys covering the firm's full practice-area spectrum. Client acquisition leans on content marketing (a practice-area blog, educational immigration articles, EB-5 investor guidance), a Google Business review profile, and YouTube video testimonials. Cross-border capability is delivered via the Alliance of Business Lawyers referral network rather than owned international offices. Pricing is largely quote-based given the bespoke nature of legal services, and the firm advertises transparent billing and same-business-day client response commitments.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Avvo / LawVu Legal Marketplace: Online lawyer directory and consumer legal marketplace that funnels individual clients to attorneys — overlapping CTM's individual-client acquisition channel and competing for consumer-facing legal demand.
• LegalZoom Legal Services: Online legal services platform providing wills, business formation, and other routine legal documents at low cost — overlapping CTM's individual-client transactional work (bankruptcy, wills, real estate closings) and representing a structural competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Holland & Knight LLP: National full-service firm with strong labor, litigation, and corporate practices — a broader incumbent competitor for CTM's larger corporate and institutional clients.
• Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP: National full-service firm with deep insurance, commercial litigation, and labor practices — a broader incumbent that competes for the same corporate and litigation matters CTM pursues.
• Jackson Lewis P.C. National labor and employment law firm with a large Chicago presence — comparable to CTM's labor/employment practice, though CTM serves unions/employees whereas Jackson Lewis primarily represents management.

Direct peers

• Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart PC: Nationally focused labor and employment law firm representing employers, with adjacent commercial litigation capabilities — closely comparable to CTM's labor-side representation and Taft-Hartley practice, though CTM is union-side.
• SmithAmundsen LLC: Chicago-based mid-size full-service law firm serving businesses, municipalities, and individuals across labor & employment, litigation, corporate, and family law — directly comparable breadth and geography to CTM Legal Group.
• Seyfarth Shaw LLP: Large Chicago-headquartered full-service firm with nationally recognized labor & employment and commercial litigation practices that overlap heavily with CTM's core offerings and target client segments.
• Levenfeld Pearlstein LLC: Chicago mid-size full-service business law firm with comparable practice breadth (corporate, litigation, real estate, employment) and similar target market of mid-market and institutional clients.
• Much Shelist, P.C. Chicago mid-size full-service firm serving closely held businesses, municipalities, and individuals with overlapping practice areas including litigation, real estate, employment, and corporate work.
