Schmiedeskamp Robertson Neu & Mitchell LLP Announces Transition in Managing Partner Leadership
Schmiedeskamp Robertson Neu & Mitchell LLP (SRNM LLP) is proud to announce a transition in firm leadership as Jim Hansen assumes the role of Managing Partner. He succeeds Mike Bickhaus, who has served in the role for the past 11 years and has played a pivotal part in shaping the firm’s continued growth and success.
During his tenure as Managing Partner, Mike Bickhaus has provided steady leadership through a period of significant development for the firm. Most recently, he assumed the combined roles of Chairman and Managing Partner three years ago when the positions were merged, ensuring continuity and strategic focus during a critical transition. Under his guidance, SRNM LLP strengthened its operations and continued its reputation as a trusted and forward-looking law firm. His leadership has been instrumental in positioning the firm for long-term success while honoring its deep-rooted traditions.
As SRNM LLP enters its next chapter, Jim Hansen brings extensive experience, respected leadership, and a deep commitment to the firm’s values. Jim has been with SRNM LLP for 24 years and currently leads the firm’s Litigation Practice Group. He is widely recognized for his legal expertise and professional service, as a member of The American College of Trial Lawyers and recently concluding five years as Chairperson of the Illinois Supreme Court Rules Committee.
Jim’s long-standing dedication to SRNM LLP, combined with his leadership within the legal community, makes him exceptionally well-suited to guide the firm forward. His understanding of the firm’s culture, clients, and strategic priorities ensures a seamless transition and a continued focus on delivering exceptional legal service.
“SRNM LLP has thrived for more than a century because of thoughtful leadership and a shared commitment to excellence,” states Mike Bickhaus. “Jim Hansen embodies those principles and is the right choice to lead the firm into its next era.”
The firm extends its sincere gratitude to Mike Bickhaus for his years of service, leadership, and vision, and looks forward with confidence as Jim Hansen takes on the role of Managing Partner. With this transition, SRNM LLP reaffirms its commitment to its clients, its people, and its mission as it continues to build on a legacy more than a century in the making.
