4  ILLINOIS BUSINESS LEADER
AMAZING MEMBERS
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF 
THE COMPANY? 
IFMK Law, Ltd. is a new and growing 
firm, but readers and Illinois Cham­
ber of Commerce members may 
recognize many of our partners and 
attorneys who were previously with 
Inman & Fitzgibbons. Ltd. (I&F) and 
O’Halloran, Kosoff, Geitner & Cook 
LLC (OKGC) - two litigation defense 
firms with a longstanding list of 
business and public entity clients and 
relationships throughout Illinois.  
	
IFMK Law, Ltd was formed in 
Spring 2023 through a merger of I&F 
and OKGC resulting in expanded 
practices in Civil, Law Enforcement 
and Jail Defense Litigation practic­
es, FOIA and OMA Legal Services, 
Employment Defense, Workers’ 
Compensation Defense, Commer­
cial Litigation and Business Legal 
Services, and Legal Counseling and 
Education Services. 
	
IFMK Law now represents and 
defends several hundred Illinois pub­
lic entities, including counties, town­
ships, municipalities, school districts, 
fire departments, public officials and 
employees, and private sector clients 
throughout the Midwest. Combined, 
we have greater capacity to be a 
resource for private business and 
public entities throughout Illinois. 
We have also expanded our practice 
to include Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, 
Missouri, and Wisconsin, and we 
continue to hire more litigation attor­
neys as we grow. 
WHY ILLINOIS AND THE 
ILLINOIS CHAMBER OF 
COMMERCE? 
Illinois was the headquarters for 
the former firms, and that remains 
unchanged for IFMK Law, Ltd. IFMK 
has four offices in Illinois, reaching 
all regions of the state. Our Illinois 
Chamber membership and the rela­
tionships we have developed with the 
Illinois Chamber of Commerce have 
played a role in our growth.  The 
Chamber has always supported our 
commitment to provide continued 
education to our clients and all 
who work in the industries in which 
we practice.  
	
Initially, the former I&F focused 
primarily on the insurance and 
risk management industries, par­
ticularly in workers’ compensation 
defense. Since 2017, I&F attorneys 
have presented to Illinois Chamber 
members throughout the state on 
topics ranging from the strategic use 
The Chamber has always supported our commitment 
to provide continued education to our clients and all 
who work in the industries in which we practice.
