Armstrong Teasdale has once again expanded its footprint, this time with a new office in Edwardsville, Illinois, the firm announced Wednesday.

The firm, which has been steadily climbing the Am Law 200 and ranked 177th this year, said it has officially set up shop in Edwardsville, the seat of Madison County, known for large-scale asbestos litigation. The office also brings Armstrong Teasdale’s physical presence closer to the Southern District of Illinois, located in Benton.
