Keating Law founder Michael Shay Keating was honored this Saint Patrick's Day with inclusion into the Irish Legal 100 published by the Irish Voice Newspaper. The Irish Legal 100, founded in 2008, is an annual compilation of the most distinguished Irish legal professionals in the United States who share one common bond: pride in their Irish roots. The Irish Legal list includes United States Supreme Court Justices and the group is hosted by the Irish Ambassador at the residence in Washington D.C.

The Irish Legal 100 hails itself as widely recognized as the preeminent legal award for lawyers of Irish blood. Mike Keating's paternal family (Keating) descends from County Cork and his maternal family (Shay) from County Clare. Both families are proud Irish Americans who have contributed to Chicago's Irish Community for generations.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from everyone at Keating Law! ☘

Keating Law clients Joseph and Marie were the focus of a Chicago Sun-Times front page article on the risks riders of e-scooters in Chicago face. One of the risks that e-scooter riders face is collisions with distracted and entitled drivers of motor vehicles who do not recognize the increasing presence of e-scooters on the city's roadways. Under the Chicago Municipal Code, e-scooter riders are entitled to the same rights and responsibilities as bicyclists under Chicago law. Like bicyclists, e-scooter riders are vulnerable users of the roadway and the risk of injury is high. Keating Law founder Mike Keating was quoted in the article on his firm's representation of e-scooter riders. Keating Law focuses part of its practice on the representation of vulnerable users of our roadways like pedestrians, bicyclists and, increasingly, e-scooter riders.

Chicago e-scooter riders face serious injuries, and no one's tracking how often they're hurt Dr. David Trotter, who runs the emergency department at Advocate Illinois Masonic, said he's seen an uptick in traumas related to e-scooters the last two years.

Happy Labor Day from Keating Law! A day to celebrate the legacy of our nation’s Labor Movement, to celebrate work in America, and a time to rest and reflect together. 🇺🇸
