Their vision to be one of the first movers in the Metaverse within the legal industry, enables their prospective clients, executives and in-house counsel at businesses and other organizations in need of highly sophisticated legal services that Benesch is known for providing to not only find each other and communicate in new ways, but also help them learn best practices so as this disruptive technology takes hold, Benesch remains out in front."

The firm serves a number of industries including private equity, cannabis, packaging, specialty chemicals, banking, healthcare, transportation and logistics, and energy and natural resources. In addition, the firm's attorneys are known in the legal industry for providing an unmatched level of service to their clients.
"As an entrepreneurial law firm that provides top-level service to its clients, we see the metaverse as yet another avenue through which our attorneys and staff can meet—and serve—our current and prospective clients where they are," said Michael Stovsky, Chair of Benesch's 3iP (Innovations, Information Technology & Intellectual Property) Practice Group. "We are excited to explore and harness the boundless possibilities the metaverse holds for business law firms to educate and communicate with their current and prospective clients."
"With Benesch establishing its metaverse office in the Unitas Tower, LawCity.Com takes another step toward solidifying its legal district as the definitive place in the metaverse where people and organizations in need of legal services can find anything law-related," added Grungo.
