Sidley Austin seems poised to become the latest Am Law 100 firm to exit the trusts and estates space for high net worth individuals as Loeb & Loeb, a well-known firm in that practice area, has absorbed the bulk of its lawyers in Chicago.

A six-lawyer group of trusts and estates lawyers have left Sidley's office in the Windy City to join Loeb & Loeb in a mass lateral move that involves the former leader of Sidley's wealth management practice.

Jordan Klein, a 28-year Sidley alum who headed the firm's national trusts and estates group, is among those leaving the firm for Loeb & Loeb, along with four other partners led by James Hitzeman, Kathleen O'Hagan Scallan, Julie Olenn and Camille Lu, as well as associate Ryan Court.
