KAITLIN M. POST, PARTNER & MICHAEL D. SEVIN, PARTNER: BEERMANN LLP

Kaitlin M. Post and Michael D. Sevin are partners with Beermann LLP, an award-winning divorce and family law firm serving the Chicago region for 65 years. Post and Sevin hold deep experience and knowledge, each having exclusively practiced family law. With over 40 lawyers, Beermann tailors its legal teams based on a client’s individual needs, ranging from contentious litigation to the collaborative process. Post handles all aspects of dissolution of marriage and parentage proceedings, and focuses much of her practice on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. “Prenups often have a negative connotation, but I find the process gives couples control in a way the court system would not,” Post says. “You have the same ability to expand upon a spouse’s rights as you do to limit them, and it is key to find counsel that can offer creative solutions to meet both parties’ needs.” Post has strong ties to both Cook and Lake counties, having grown up in Wilmette and now living with her husband and two children in Lake Forest. Sevin was also raised in the Northern Suburbs, and he and Post have been close friends and collaborators since early in their careers. Sevin concentrates his practice exclusively in the area of family law, representing parties in the litigation and resolution of sophisticated matrimonial and family-related matters. He counsels clients on a wide range of divorce-related issues including custody disputes, analysis of complex financial matters, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and the disposition of marital and non-marital assets. “It is important to remain levelheaded and pragmatic, as cases that appear to be straightforward may quickly become complex, especially when children, businesses, and estates are involved,” Sevin says. Sevin’s peers and colleagues have recognized him as a leading advocate for his clients, including being named one of Illinois’ “40 Under 40 Attorneys to Watch” by the Law Bulletin Publishing Company in 2019.
