About Robert B.

Robert B. Buchanan practiced regulation in Chicago after completing degrees at two nicely-considered faculties. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley in 2009 and a Juris Doctor from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2012. Those credentials set the stage for a continuous climb thru private practice and bar affiliation work in Illinois.

He started his professional legal work in 2012 with two senior advisor positions, serving at Kearns Law Office, LLC and at Caputo Law Office, P.C. The following year he joined Burch & Associates as an associate attorney. In 2014 he took on a leadership role as managing shareholder at Johnsen & Buchanan, LLC. In 2016 he became principal lawyer at The Law Offices of Robert B. Buchanan, a position he has held since.

Buchanan holds admission in Illinois and is also authorized to appear before the Seventh Circuit. He has been listed by top-rated attorneys list, an industry credential that recognizes attorneys thru peer nominations and evaluations. His name appears alongside ongoing involvement within the Chicago legal network, an involvement that has covered an early position within the Young Lawyers Division of the Chicago Bar Association the place he served as Special Projects Coordinator from 2015 to 2016.

He has been a member of the Chicago Bar Association since 2012. Since 2017 he has taken phase within the Justice Entrepreneurs Project as a mentor, advising more recent practitioners on the enterprise and realistic elements of operating a small legal practice. Those roles have reinforced his ties to nearby expert networks and to lawyers launching their personal practices.

The arc of Buchanan’s profession indicates a mixture of firm-aspect roles and independent practice. The early years provided courtroom and casework knowledge under based firms. The pass into management and then right into a principal position signaled a flip towards operating a tradition and shaping client services. His professional timeline is easy and anchored in Illinois practice.

Today he leads The Law Offices of Robert B. Buchanan. He represents clients in matters filed in Illinois state courts and looks for instances in the Seventh Circuit as a part of his current practice focus.
