Gregg has overseen a $266 million (326%) increase in revenue during his tenure as Managing Partner and a 58-spot advancement on the Am Law 200 since the firm’s 2017 debut on the list.
“Benesch has been my home for nearly 30 years. I am humbled and honored by our partners’ continued trust in me,” said Gregg. “I am so proud of what we have built together, from the culture to our first-class client experience program. As always, our clients and their businesses remain our top priority, and I look forward to us continuing to deliver the highest quality service possible as we grow to meet their expanding needs.”
