Dentons announces today the addition of Sulema Medrano as a partner in its Commercial Litigation practice based in the Chicago office. Medrano offers clients a wealth of experience in leading complex commercial litigation cases, with a particular focus on breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation and bad-faith claims in state and federal courts nationwide.

Medrano has built a reputation for her exceptional courtroom skills and is highly sought after by clients for defense against claims of consumer fraud and bad faith, breach of contract, products liability, professional liability, information privacy and other commercial disputes. She has successfully mediated multimillion-dollar claims and has achieved favorable settlements and dismissals on behalf of clients. Her clients span a wide range of industries including construction, transportation, healthcare and manufacturing companies, property owners and securities firms.

Additionally, Medrano represents insurance clients on complex coverage disputes, litigation and regulatory compliance matters across a range of insurance lines. She has successfully defended wrongful-death claims, arbitrated large-scale first-party claims and obtained scores of dismissals for her clients in federal and state courts.

“Sulema is highly regarded as a versatile trial litigator for her experience in commercial litigation, including consumer fraud and insurance disputes,” said Sandra Hauser, head of Dentons US Commercial Litigation practice. “Her arrival enhances our already strong capabilities to defend and protect clients in these areas, not only in Illinois but across the country.”
