Hawks Quindel has a 65-year history of successfully fighting for
the rights of Wisconsin workers and labor unions. With a strong
foundation of service to Wisconsin residents, expansion into
Illinois was the natural next step. The launch dovetails with new
workers’ rights laws that recently went into effect in Chicago,
including an increase in the minimum wage and a new paid time off
policy.
“We are so pleased to launch our Chicago presence with such
high-caliber legal professionals who have dedicated their careers
to fighting for workers’ rights,” Summer Murshid, Hawks Quindel
shareholder, said. “I have known Nieves, Patrick and Alex for many
years, and I am inspired by their commitment to ensuring workers
have access to the legal remedies they deserve when they experience
illegal treatment in the workplace. The Chicago office is poised
for exponential growth and expansion under Nieves’ leadership.”
Over Bolaños’ 15-year career, she has represented workers in
wage and hour, False Claims Act, and employment discrimination and
retaliation litigation. She has significant litigation experience
at the state and federal level, as well as with local
administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the
Illinois Education Labor Relations Board. Bolaños was recently
elected to serve as president of the National Employment Lawyers
Association, the nation’s largest bar association whose members
exclusively or primarily represent workers.
“Patrick, Alex and I are thrilled to join one of the most
prominent law firms in the Midwest and the nation,” said Bolaños.
“Hawks Quindel was founded to defend the rights of workers, a
responsibility we are passionate about and take very seriously. We
look forward to serving the greater Chicago community and beyond as
part of a firm whose values are so deeply rooted in justice and
fairness.”
Hawks Quindel was founded in 1959 and rose to prominence as a
formidable advocate for employee rights and social justice. As the
firm has grown, its mission has expanded to assisting clients with
a variety of legal issues, including injuries on and off the job,
disability benefits, family law issues, consumer disputes, employee
benefits issues and more. The firm has five offices in Wisconsin
(Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton, Kenosha and Waukesha) and recently
opened its first office in Chicago.
