McMahon, Wilson Elser chairman. “He brings a wealth of experience, having served as counsel for a wide variety of insurance carriers and insureds in the Midwest and elsewhere, and adheres to Wilson Elser’s tenets of excellent lawyering and a focus on client service.”
Huelsmann’s practice encompasses toxic tort, personal injury, product liability and commercial litigation matters. He represents Fortune 500 companies, insurers, insureds and self-insureds.
Named for inclusion in Super Lawyers, Huelsmann is admitted to practice in Illinois, Missouri and Pennsylvania.
He has presented and published on asbestos and personal injury–related topics and is an active member of DRI: The Voice of the Defense Bar, serving on its annual toxic tort conference planning committee.
