Chicago, (FEBRUARY 18, 2026) – Saul Ewing LLP has expanded its Corporate Practice in Chicago with the hiring of Counsel Fielden Fleming, a trusted legal advisor on M&A deals and as outside general counsel to closely held businesses. Mr. Fielden's work helping business owners and management teams navigate transactions and corporate matters that define their companies’ trajectories is influenced by his experience in both private practice and as an in-house general counsel.
