Firm History

Baum Sigman Auerbach & Neuman, Ltd. was founded in 1963, making it one of the oldest law firms in Chicago specializing in the representation of Unions and Taft-Hartley employee benefit funds. For over forty years, we have maintained our commitment to working men and women who comprise organized labor and their employers. We strive to protect the benefits earned by the labor movement as they relate to unions, Taft-Hartley employee benefit funds, and the individual worker.

We practice in the areas of employee benefits, ERISA compliance, labor law, employment law, and workers' compensation law. We represent our clients in litigation before federal and state courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators. We also provide comprehensive counselling services to our clients that are a result of tested experience, and imperative to the success of unions and Taft-Hartley funds in today's world of economic and political uncertainty.

The overlapping experience that Baum Sigman attorneys have in the areas of ERISA, labor law, and employment law provides our clients with the benefit of comprehensive legal services. We respond to concerns and goals that are unique to our clients who work under ERISA, the National Labor Relations Act, and federal and state employment laws.
